Amy Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil has confirmed they are engaged to be married for a second time.

The couple divorced in July following a turbulent two-year marriage, which saw the pair sink into drug abuse and Fielder-Civil jailed on charges relating to a 2007 attack on a pub landlord. The union ended with the singer admitting adultery in court papers.

Rumours of a reunion have been rampant since they were spotted enjoying an intimate night out in September.

Winehouse has since been seen wearing her engagement ring and was snapped visiting her ex-husband's apartment in Sheffield, England earlier this month, where he is undergoing treatment for drug addiction.

Fielder-Civil has now confirmed reports they are engaged and planning to re-marry - and even considering starting a family.

He tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "We're back together, and we're engaged. Amy and I have talked about getting married again and starting a family - we both definitely want kids.

"This time we are doing things properly and hopefully that will help both our families come round to the idea. We've both been through a lot but we love each other the same as ever. We've tried to get on with our lives and to see other people, but it wasn't the same. There's no one like Amy. She will always be the love of my life."

And Fielder-Civil is adamant they will make their second marriage work now they have both kicked their drug habits.

He adds, "We're free of drugs now and we're more responsible now. I'm 100 per cent clean and I'm not going to let anyone down. Amy said, 'You inspire me.' She's proud of me for staying off drugs and she's determined to do the same."
