Amy Winehouse's dad is flying out to St. Lucia to comfort her, after her new boyfriend flew home.

The 'Rehab' singer is said to be distraught over the departure of 21-year-old British actor Josh Bowman who she struck up a romance with - despite being married to jailed Blake Fielder-Civil - while staying at the same exclusive Le Sport resort on the Caribbean island.

A guest at the hotel told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Amy was very upset. She was in tears and kept telling Josh she loved him and would see him again soon."

Josh was holidaying with his mother and grandmother on the idyllic island, where Amy's father Mitch will arrive to console his daughter.

A source said: "Amy has been calling Mitch every day to tell him she is totally besotted. Mitch wants Josh to know he will have their support."

Amy, 25, has credited her meeting with Josh and Caribbean break for changing her outlook on life.

She said: "Josh couldn't be more different from my husband, which is not a bad thing. Blake looks like me, a right mess, but Josh is handsome and clean and that's what I like about him."
