Amy Winehouse’s recent health worries have prompted her friend Pete Doherty to admit he feels for the troubled star.

The Camden caner was rushed to hospital on Monday after suffering a reaction to medication at her London home, but was discharged on Tuesday.

Winehouse has suffered a string of health problems this year, including a bout of infectious skin condition impetigo and traces of deadly lung disease emphysema, while her husband Blake Fielder-Civil is in a London jail for assaulting a pub landlord in June 2006.

And the Babyshambles frontman admits he sympathises with Winehouse's plight.

He tells Loaded magazine: "She's not been married for a year and her old man's locked up. It's a lonely life and she's completely hounded by the papers. I feel so, so sorry for her."

Maybe he’s just sad because he’ll have no one to go boozing with.
