Mitch Winehouse has expressed grievances with the new Amy Winehouse documentary on Channel 5 labelling the program 'an absolute disgrace'.
The Channel 5 investigative piece aimed to "re-examine" the final hours of Mitch's daughter and singer, Amy Winehouse. The show aired last night, Monday 28 September.
The singer's father dismissed Autopsy: The Last Hours of Amy Winehouse on Twitter about a week ago prior to the public broadcast, labelling the hour long doc "an absolute disgrace" and urging the station to "leave my daughter alone".
there is a programme Monday 28th channel 5. Last hours of Amy. What an absolute disgrace. Leave my daughter alone.

He has since followed up the original plea with a series of tweets putting Winehouse's friend and hairdresser, Alex Foden, on blast for acting as a talking head for the programme.

Someone actually thinks that i am involved in the channel 5 doc. Nothing to do with us. You need to speak to Alex Foden

So doc told us nothing we didn't know. Just another exploitation of Amy by so called friends. Alex Foden you should be ashamed.

During the documentary Foden said: "The last time I ever saw Amy, she was in a body bag", the former friend of the singer said. He continued: "She didn't want to be fixed. She was happy the way things were. It was the only way she could escape the madness that was going on around her."
Mitch Winehouse has been a controversial spokesman for Amy since the singer's passing back in 2011. Taking huge offence to the critically-acclaimed biopic, AMY, that was released earlier this year as well as, for some reason, suggesting Amy may have been pregnant in the years leading up to her death.
