Amy Winehouse returned to one of her favourite Camden drinking haunts, The Good Mixer, last night (August 6) and was unsurprisingly met by a huge paparazzi scrum.

The 25-year-old was spotted entering the pub at around 5pm, when word spread and an army of photographers gathered to capture the star.

When leaving the pub three hours later with musician friend Tyler James, in the midst of the inevitable chaos Winehouse took to sucking her thumb to comfort herself.

Aside from a court appearance, Winehouse has kept a relatively low profile since returning from her eight month stay in St Lucia.
