Amy Winehouse’s Father has been chosen to fill in during a London radio show.

Mitch Winehouse, a taxi driver, will cover a slot for Danny Baker’s show on BBC Radio London.94.9, on September 1st.

Mr Winehouse will be covering one of several slots dating from August 18th until September 12th.

The radio show will be a phone-in, and is likely to attract a few excitable callers.

Mr Winehouse has appeared frequently in the media over recent months following his daughter's ongoing battle with drug addiction.
