Winehouse 'considering return to rehab'

Amy Winehouse is reportedly considering going back into rehab - fearing life in London holds "too much temptation".

Amy Winehouse is reportedly considering going back into rehab - fearing life in London holds "too much temptation".

The 'Back To Black' singer was admitted to a clinic in January to finally kick her drug addiction - but checked out after just two weeks.

Winehouse has since been photographed looking distinctly unhealthy; she came down with contagious skin condition impetigo earlier this month which left her with sores all over her face, and she has also been snapped with her arms covered in cuts - prompting fears she may have resorted to self-harming.

British newspaper The Sun is now reporting the 24-year-old has conceded she needs further treatment, possibly in an international facility.

A source told the publication: "Amy has admitted she needs to check into rehab again. There are too many temptations for her in the UK - people around her in London are making it impossible for her to stay clean for any length of time.

"Her management considered sending her to a clinic in Israel but are now looking further afield. They are assessing a clinic in Cape Town in South Africa."
