Jazz star and former Brit School student Amy Winehouse has admitted she self-harmed when she was younger.

The 23-year-old, who studied at the Croydon performing arts school in The Crescent, told Q Magazine it was about the worst thing she had ever done.

Concerns the bolshie star, who won a Brit Award this year, was cutting herself again were sparked by photographs showing her with a slashed arm.

The star also confessed to bouts of depression, which she still suffers, but said recent injuries were the result of a tumble following a boozy night out in New York.

Winehouse had reportedly gone on a booze bender after a recent split with her boyfriend Alex Claire - leading her to cancel two gigs at Shepherd's Bush Empire.

But the pair seem to be back together after the singer was sighted straddling the chef on the Tube.
