Amy told not to flirt in court

There are lots of things that a gal can't do in court and one of them is flirt, as Amy Winehouse learned recently.

The troubled 24-year-old managed to scrub up well for a change, wearing a smart polka-dotted blue dress instead of her usual uniform of grubby vest and jeans to attend her hubby Blake Fielder-Civil's pre-trial hearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court yesterday.

Ames was led into court by an usher and sat in the front row of the gallery but she moved to different seats twice.

She kept mouthing words to her hubby, who frequently smiled at her from the dock, and blowing kisses to him for over an hour.

At one point she patted the chair next to her and mouthed "come sit here next to me".

She also rummaged in her handbag for a brooch with the name Blake on it for her hubby to see before mouthing: "I love you, you're fit."

Poor Ames was eventually ordered to stop by officials and she left after just 80 minutes.
