Amy Winehouse claims that nothing is going on with her new male companion - because he's gay.

The singer set tongues wagging when she spent hours holed up in a London hotel room with artist, Blake Wood, who she was introduced to by pal Kelly Osbourne.

However, Amy insists that the original Blake (that’s jailed hubby Blake Feilder-Civil) has nothing to worry about because new Blake isn’t into girls.

A pal tells The Sun: “She’s said it’s fine so share a hotel room because he is gay.

“But he doesn’t seem gay to me - I think he’s bisexual. Amy’s husband wouldn’t be happy if he saw how close they are.”

At least new Blake sounds like a better influence on the rehabbing singer than the original version.

Whilst hubby Blake's main preoccupation was apparently crack, artistic Blake is reportedly a drug-free, teetotal veggie who's into French poet Charles Baudelaire.
