Two friends of Amy Winehouse “concealed” the fact that they profited from two auctions of her memorabilia, which generated nearly £1 million, her father Mitch stated yesterday.
Among the 155 lots were her bloodied ballet pumps, a card from Mark Ronson, and a Fendi bracelet.

Mitch claims the stylist and Amy’s close friend owe over £730,000.
He argues that the disputed items, including designer dresses, were “owned by the estate” at the time of sale and is seeking damages.
He acknowledged Amy's generosity but stated that when they informed him they were “parting with a few things,” it “significantly downplayed the true situation.”
Mr. Winehouse added: “I’m sure there were instances when Amy gifted them items.
“It was typical of Amy.
“I assume that since they were so close, Amy would have given them some things, but 150 items? I just can’t believe it.”
Both deny wrongfully obtaining the memorabilia, claiming they were gifts or items lent to Amy.
