Speaking on the first anniversary of her death on Monday, the cabbie said he was in shock for 'the first four or five months' after her death and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

He explained: 'I was having flashbacks. This is the stuff our soldiers are facing every day.'

The 60-year-old added: 'I've managed to dispel those images and now I remember Amy as she always was, even during the dark times.'

Mitch was also keen to stress that a hologram of his daughter performing on stage is unlikely.

'I didn't want to go and see the Sinatra one which his daughter did,' he said.

'I won't rule anything out though. We do need to raise money for the foundation.

'But everything we do has to be done tastefully and we certainly don't want to rip anybody off, that's for sure.

'Everything we do we want to add to Amy's legacy not detract from it.'

Meanwhile, figures show Winehouse has sold 1.2million albums in the year since her death, at 27.
