Amy Winehouse has a special kitten-shaped crack cocaine pipe, new photographs have revealed.

In exclusive pictures taken inside the troubled singer's North London home, the odd pipe - an instrument to smoke crack cocaine through - is seen standing next to the MTV Artist's Choice award she won at the 2007 ceremony.

Amy appears in the photos, which were taken after her win, wearing a polka-dot bra accessorised with a variety of jewellery while playing on a set of keyboards.

Last week, Amy was taken to hospital after suffering a series of fits following an overdose of medication she was taking to help her combat her drug addiction.

The 24-year-old singer was kept overnight in London's University College Hospital for observation.

Following the incident, Amy's father Mitch said: "Amy had a bad reaction to some medication. She took two doses instead of one by mistake."
