Pair supplied drugs to Winehouse

Amy Winehouse

A couple have admitted supplying drugs including cocaine and ecstasy to singer Amy Winehouse.

John Blagrove, 34, and Cara Burton, 22, both from Dalston, east London, were warned they face a jail term as they appeared in Snaresbrook Crown Court.

Blagrove admitted two counts of offering to supply Class A drugs cocaine and ecstasy (MDMA) and one of offering to supply Class B drugs.

Burton admitted two counts of offering to supply Class B drugs.

Winehouse footage

The charges relate to video footage which appeared to show Winehouse smoking a crack pipe.

The singer was arrested and questioned over the images but she was not charged.

The pair denied one charge each of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, which was dropped when their plea was accepted by the prosecution.

The two will return to court on 28 November for pre-sentence reports.
