Amy Winehouse quit rehab yesterday (15.08.07).

The troubled singer - who was rushed to hospital last week after allegedly overdosing on a cocktail of ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol - walked out of Essex's The Causeway clinic after just 48 hours.

Amy took a helicopter to her north London home after husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who was also being treated at the facility, reportedly convinced Amy to leave so they could return to "normality".

Speaking outside her house, Amy said: "Oh my God, what the hell happened to last week? I'm fine don't worry."

Later in the day, the 23-year-old star - who has been ordered by doctors to have a brain scan - visited a private London clinic with her 25-year-old spouse.

Specialists plan to run tests for epilepsy, which they believe could have been the cause of Amy's seizure last week.

The newlyweds were then spotted in their local pub the Old Eagle with Blake's mother Georgette and stepfather Giles.

Amy's father Mitch is furious his daughter has left rehab and is desperate to get her away from her husband, who he blames for her problems.

A source said: "Mitch is desperate for Amy to get some proper lengthy treatment but she'll only do it with Blake. Mitch even looked to see if he could get a restraining order against him but legally it's impossible."
