Adele's Amy vow

Feb 2, 2008, 7:35 GMT

'Chasing Pavements' singer Adele has vowed she won't end up like Amy Winehouse.

The 19-year-old singer has no intention of following in Amy's troubled footsteps by getting involved with drugs.

She said: "I've never done drugs and I never will. I'm too scared. I don't even know any other drugs apart from ecstasy and cocaine!

"People ask me if I think I'm going to end up like Amy Winehouse. First of all, I don't know how she's ended up because no one does. I just put on my iPod and listen to 'Back to Black' and remember she's amazingly talented."

Adele - who is a size 14 - also refuses to bow to industry pressure to be thin.

She said: "It doesn't bother me. I don't believe I need to look like that - even when I read people saying horrible stuff about my weight. Until I start not liking my own body, and until it gets in the way of my health or stops me having a boyfriend then I don't care.

"Since I was a teenager I've been a size 14 or 16, sometimes an 18. And it's never been an issue in any of the relationships I've had."
