Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has taken on a new role - agony aunt to celebrity record producer Mark Ronson.

According to media reports, Ronson has turned to Winehouse for support after he broke up with his girlfriend of three years, American Cosi Theodoli-Braschi.

Ronson and Winehouse are up for a Brit Award for Best British Single for their song Valerie.

But despite working closely together, Ronson says their relationship is strictly platonic.
