Amy Winehouse says she doesn't need drugs any more because of her young new lover - but her claims haven't gone well with her estranged husband, who now wants a divorce!

The controversial English singer has been cavorting around the Caribbean on an extended holiday with 21-year-old Josh Bowman, and appears to have angered Blake Fielder-Civil.

But Amy, who spoke to the 'News of the World' in St. Lucia, had nothing but praise for her posh new man: “Blake looks like me, a right mess. But Josh is all handsome and clean and that’s what I love about him."

And it seems Amy has swapped drugs for love: “When I’m with Josh I don’t need drugs to feel good because he makes me feel so amazing. Home is hell for me. I’ve escaped from it. There are drugs everywhere.”

The troubled star seems to finally be making steps in the right direction.

Amy Winehouse seems to be over her relationship with Fielder-Civil: “Blake was rubbish in bed. Do you know what? Almost every time I slept with him it was like I was dead.

"Our whole marriage was based on doing drugs. So being with someone like Josh is much better for me.”

And it seems that the singer knew she was in trouble, and finally decided to do something about it: "Before I came out here I looked at a photo of myself in the newspaper and was horrified.

"My skin was a spotty mess and I was so pale and skinny. I thought to myself, ‘Girl, you got to sort yourself out or you’ll be dead soon.’

“I was depressed, doing drugs and had no life in me at all. Coming here has changed everything. We’re having a great time together along with all Josh’s family and friends and I just don’t want the holiday to end.

“Home is hell for me. I’ve escaped from it. There are drugs everywhere. I can’t do anything without everyone thinking I’m off my head on drugs, although half the time they were right, I WAS.

"But here I feel so calm and peaceful and for the first time I can definitely say I AM off the drugs. I haven’t touched anything since I arrived and I feel the best I have in years.”

Blake has reacted to Amy's comments by initiating a divorce, according to the 'Daily Mail' - on the grounds of adultery!

But Amy Winehouse was left devastated as Josh (21) flew back to England from the Caribbean yesterday. And to add to her misery, a close friend of Josh has denied that there is any romance between the couple. Amy's father Mitch (57) has flown out to comfort the fragile star.

Update: Amy Winehouse now seems to have got over her holiday romance with Josh Bowman and is on the lookout for new men - although she claims she still loves husband Blake.
