Amy Winehouse has been enjoying a holiday romance during her comeback tour in Brazil, according to reports.

The singer is said to have fallen for a fellow Brit named Paul after they met at her hotel in Rio.

"Amy is having a great time in the carnival capital. She's telling people back home she has met a scally from S****horpe and that they instantly hit it off,” a source told The Sun.

"They've been sneaking off together and she can't keep the smile from her face."

Winehouse played the first of five dates in the South American country at the Summer Soul Festival on Saturday (January 8).

The gig marked the singer's first full live performance in two years and was favourably received by critics.
