Blake tried to take his life after reading Amy Winehouse texts, says his mum

Blake Fielder-Civil's mother fears he may have tried to kill himself after reading texts from his former wife Amy Winehouse.

The late singer's ex-husband is in hospital after collapsing following an alcohol and drugs binge, just a fortnight after his release from prison following a 12-month stretch for burglary and possessing an imitation firearm.

His mother, Georgette, has now revealed he had been using an old mobile phone since leaving jail and had discovered some texts from Amy, who died in July 2011 aged just 27.

In one of the messages, the Rehab singer asked if she could be godmother to Blake's son Jack, and Georgette believes that could have been the final straw for him.

'He had messages on his phone from Amy which he only got recently. He didn't have the phone in prison and he picked up messages from her when he was released,' she told the Sun.

'She said she wanted to be Jack's godmother. The grief for Amy started again. I fear he may have been trying to take his own life.'

Georgette and Blake's current partner, Sarah Aspin, have kept a vigil at his bedside in the intensive care unit of a Yorkshire hospital since he was discovered choking on his own vomit last week.

Blake remains on a life support machine after doctors placed him in an induced coma and faces months in hospital as he recovers from multiple organ failure.

Amy's father Mitch Winehouse urged her fans to pray for his former son-in-law and later delivered a positive update about his condition.

'It looks like Blake is going to get through this. That's good news. Mitch,' he tweeted.
