Amy Winehouse's hubby pleads guilty

London (ANI): Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil has pleaded guilty to beating up a pub landlord and attempting to cover up the crime. Fielder-Civil, who is back in jail on remand, admitted to GBH and perverting justice on June 9, and will be facing a long stretch behind bars, reports The Sun. A ban on reporting was lifted up by a judge after Fielder-Civil pleaded guilty at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday to beating up a barman, then trying to bribe him to leave the country. The street attack on 36-year-old pub worker James King, carried out by Fielder-Civil and his 39-year-old friend Michael Brown, in Hoxton, East London, in June last year was caught on CCTV. The two were said to have later offered him cash and asked him to leave the country. Fielder-Civil is said to have sniggered in the dock as he was admitting to the charges. The sentence against him will be announced later.
