Mitch Winehouse, the father of late singer Amy Winehouse, has said he doesn’t want his daughter to win the Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist at tonight’s ceremony.

Mitch Winehouse does not want his daughter to win a Brit Award tonight.

Speaking about the award nominees Mitch said “You have Jess Glyne, we’ve got Adele. and we’ve got Amy. At least she is being nominated for her music, for the soundtrack from the film. So that’s quite positive and it just shows you that Amy’s still up for awards five years after her passing.”

When asked by host Philip Schofield why Mitch had said he hopes Amy doesn't win Mitch added, “Because it’s as a result of the film, the soundtrack of the film. Really Adele should win it hands down shouldn’t she?”

“But I’m not sure how people win the Brit Awards I don’t know if it’s on number of albums sold, I haven’t got a clue. We only found out that the qualifications to be nominated is be in the Top 40 last year.”

Asif Kapadia’s documentary Amy was released last year and father Mitch has been very vocal about his feelings towards the film. “Frankly the movie is a sham. They left lots of stuff out,” Mitch said. “

"Anybody who was any part of Amy’s life in the last three or four years was not in the film. Reg, her boyfriend, he was instrumental in making sure that she stayed off drugs. People don’t realise after seeing that film, they still think she died of a drugs overdose, what kind of a film is it that leaves people in doubt how she died?”

“No mention of that she was clear of drugs for three years,” the 65-year-old added. Kapadia’s documentary, which smashed box office records last year, is also up for Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards later this week.
