Amy Winehouse was unable to attend her husband’s court hearing yesterday because she was taken ill, it’s been claimed.

A doctor was apparently seen pulling up outside the singer’s home in North London.

A spokesperson told the Sun newspaper that the visit was part of a routine check up.

Winehouse had spent much of Monday (June 2nd) at Snaresbrook Crown Court in East London watching the legal details of her husband’s case be read out.

During her time in court, Winehouse exchanged smiles and mouthed conversations with Blake Fielder-Civil, who faces charges of perverting the course of justice and assault.

He is due to stand trial later this year.
