Double Blow for Winehouse: Assault & Blake's new love

AMY WINEHOUSE is to appear in court accused of punching a fan.

But hours after being held and charged, the recovering junkie drunkenly ran wild at a party.

The court case will be Amy’s first time in the dock, despite numerous brushes with the law.

Sherene ... Amy's alleged victim

She is accused of common assault on dancer Sherene Flash, 30.

Amy, 25, is said to have punched Sherene’s face when asked to pose for a photo at an End of Summer Ball in London last September.

A string of previous arrests over allegations of possessing drugs and attacking people had only resulted to Amy being cautioned before.

But the Rehab singer was charged when she attended London’s Charing Cross police station at 11am on Thursday. She failed to show up on at least two previous occasions.

Amy, just returned from the Caribbean, was arrested and questioned before a sergeant read out the charge.

She was released on bail to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates Court on March 17.

Family and friends are now concerned the stress could spark a new drugs binge.

One pal said: “Amy is worried. But she is determined to get through it and sees the case as a hangover from her past.”

Police confirmed Amy was charged as “a singer, of Hadley Wood, North London”.

On Thursday night she shocked partygoers with her antics after swigging vodka at the Oxjam charity bash in Selfridges’ London store.

An onlooker said: “She was clearly drunk. She knocked candles off a display unit, then started climbing up a bookshelf.”

The Sun also revealed yesterday that Amy is taking driving lessons.

One partygoer said: “In that case people ought to start walking in the road.”

AMY WINEHOUSE’S husband is refusing to take her phone calls - after falling in love with a SCHOOLGIRL.

In a huge blow to the singer BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL is said to be "besotted" with FRANCESCA MORRALEE, 17, who he has been seeing since filing for divorce from the troubled star.

The pair have NOT yet consummated their relationship but have written 'stacks' of love letters to each other while he was behind bars and declared their feelings in emotional phone calls.

She has also told pals that she's "so in love" with the 26-year-old.

Busting to be with Blake ... Francesca

Blake was freed from Edmunds Hill Prison on Wednesday after serving time for GBH and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Vicar’s grand-daughter Francesca, who calls herself Fran, hid in the back of his mum Georgette’s car when he was released and has not returned to school since.

She was said to be relieved when she was mistaken for German model SOPHIE SCHANDORFF, 22, who he has been previously linked to.

Fran - whose Facebook picture shows her holding a Valentine’s Day balloon from Blake - yesterday said she did not want to talk about the relationship but insisted: "He hasn’t cheated on Amy."

A friend said: "They are trying to keep the whole thing under wraps.

"It’s been going on since him and Amy separated. He filed for divorce and only then did he ask her out officially.

"They tell each other that they love each other. They seem so happy together he is absolutely devoted to her even though it is early days.

"He has promised her he wants nothing to do with Amy. She speaks to his mum every day and tries to get through to Blake but he doesn’t want to know.

"Georgette has also reassured her that he has cut all ties with Amy. Blake is in rehab now but when he gets out they want to live together."

Fran’s family are 'aware' of the relationship.

The pal said: "They are willing to give him a chance. As long as he doesn’t hurt Fran they are ok with it."

The day before Blake was released from prison she wrote on her Facebook page: "Fran can’t wait for Wednesday x".

After his release she posted a message saying to say she had spent "the best day" with him.

Blake’s mum this week denied Blake had cheated on Amy. She said: "Blake’s been a bad lad when it comes to drugs but he hasn't once cheated on Amy.

"He has a close circle of friends who have helped him through prison. They’ve been there for Blake when his own wife wasn’t.

"But he’s not got another woman - absolutely not. The last thing he wants right now is another relationship."
