Amy Winehouse's father Mitch Winehouse was admitted to hospital on Wednesday (17Oct12) to undergo hernia treatment.

The former taxi driver previously admitted he developed the hernia after laughing non-stop at his daughter's jokes, and now he is having the condition corrected by doctors.

He took to his Twitter.com page to tell followers about the procedure, writing, "In hospital today for hernia repair. I am not too nervous."

The Rehab hitmaker died from alcohol poisoning in July, 2011.
