Amy Winehouse has responded to rumours that she was involved in a fight last week, saying her bruised and swollen face is down to a mystery skin infection.

The singer was photographed on Friday with a painful-looking swelling on the side of her face, prompting speculation that she had been hit.

However her spokesman insists the singer has come down with a mystery illness and is seeking medical help.

He told the Daily Star: "Amy has a skin infection which is why her face looks the way it does. At this stage she has no idea what it is but she's getting to a doctor to try and identify the problem.

"She's not in any pain but, obviously, she wants to get it sorted as soon as possible."
