Amy Winehouse has confessed she physically attacks her new husband.

The 'Rehab' singer takes her anger out on spouse Blake Fielder-Civil when she's drunk.

She is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "I'm either a really good drunk or I'm an out-an-out sh*t, horrible, violent, abusive, emotional drunk.

"I'll beat up Blake when I'm drunk. I don't think I've ever bruised him, but I do have my way. If he says one thing I don't like then I'll hit him."

However, the 23-year-old star, who married Blake in a secret ceremony last month, says she doesn't seek out arguments after a few drinks.

She added: "I'm not a fighter, but if I am backed up against the wall I'll kick the sh*t out of anyone.

"I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It's to do with how much anger is in you."

Last week, Amy and Blake had a blazing public row after her performance at the MTV Movie Awards in Hollywood on June 3.

An onlooker at the Los Angeles hotel where the argument took place, said: "As soon as they walked into the lobby they started screaming at each other. Amy was shouting, 'You always f***ing do this! Don't f***ing touch me! F**k you!'

"She was in tears but Blake tried to walk away. It wound her up so much she pushed him into a hedge."

After spending a few minutes apart, the couple soon patched up their difference and were seen crying into each other's arms.
