Amy Winehouse has returned home following an overnight stay at University College Hospital in London.

A spokeswoman for the hospital said Winehouse was in “good spirits” and had a “comfortable night".

The singer was rushed to the medical facility last night by ambulance after suffering a "reaction to medication" at her home in Camden.

Paramedics were surrounded by photographers as they tried to help the singer into the ambulance shortly after 9pm.

Mitch Winehouse, the singer's father, told the BBC that he had shared a KFC takeaway with the singer earlier in the night, and that she had “scoffed the whole thing”.

Last month Winehouse was diagnosed with traces of the lung disease emphysema after fainting at her home.
