'I never shirk from any responsibility': Blake Fielder-Civil says he's 'not responsible' for ex-wife Amy Winehouse's tragic death

Amy Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil has insisted her death was not his "responsibility".

Blake - who was married to superstar singer Amy from 2007 until 2009 – says he would "put [his] hand up" if he was responsible for the death of the late star, who died of accidental alcohol poisoning in 2011, aged 27.

Speaking on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, he said: "My stance now is that I know a lot of people, especially people reading media twenty years ago would have an idea that Amy's passing is my responsibility.

"As I've always said - I never shirk from any responsibility. If I've done something, I'll put my hand up to it, but I'm OK.

"I'm not OK, but I've made my peace with... yeah, I had a part to play.

"Amy herself had agency, and that is in no way at all disrespecting her by saying that, but Amy did what she wanted to do and even knowing the drinking had started to hurt her, she carried on."

Amy struggled with drug and alcohol issues, but Blake has insisted she experimented with drugs before she met him.
