A CIVIL PARTNERSHIP?
One day, while talking to friends, Blake Fielder-Civil received a text message on his mobile phone from Kelly Osbourne. The text informed him that Amy was in a hotel room in Los Angeles, wearing his underpants. As strange moments in his relationship went, this was small fry. Their relationship has been utterly wild. It’s been described as everything from a modern-day Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, to a dangerous, Fatal Attraction-style pairing.
Blake met Amy in 2005. He recalls, ‘We met at a pub called the Good Mixer in Camden. I’d just had a good win at the bookies so I went to the pub to celebrate, opened the door and Amy was the first person I saw and that was it. The drinks were on me for the first and last time! And from that night onwards, we began our tortuous love affair.
‘When we met we were attracted to each other instantly and we’ve never stopped being that way,’ he said of their love-at-first-sight encounter. ‘I know me and Amy are going to be together. She’s the love of my life.’ Within a month, that love was expressed in artistic form, as Amy got a new tattoo. Inked on her chest, over her heart, is a button pocket with the word ‘Blake’s’ on it. Hence, she was expressing that he’ll always be close to her heart. Blake, too, loves tattoos and even has the word ‘Sailor’ inked on the inside of his lip.
However, this initial courtship was not to last long because Blake already had a girlfriend. How inconvenient! As we were subsequently to hear in one of Amy’s best-loved songs, Blake quickly went back to his girlfriend and Amy, well, she went back to black. To deal with her heartache, Amy quickly took up with a new man, Alex Claire. Claire was twenty-one when he met Amy and was quickly taken in by her ‘very striking face with big brown eyes that suck you in’.
As for Amy, she recalls, ‘I made him buy me a tequila because they were refusing to serve me on account of a golf-ball-sized lump on my head from the previous night. A few drinks later I was sat on his lap.’
The venue for this tequila moment was the Hawley Arms in Camden. Within eight weeks, chef and musician Claire had moved in with her. Claire has spoken of their wild sex romp. They were once almost thrown out of a cinema in north London as their passionate clinch became more and more passionate. Presumably V For Vendetta hadn’t grabbed their attention, then. They also had sex backstage at a concert in Southampton, minutes before Amy strolled onto the stage.
In his torrid kiss-and-tell interview with the News of the World, entitled BONDAGE, BEATINGS AND BITINGS, Claire claimed that Amy ‘loved being dominated as well as dominating’. He said she once pushed his head under the bathwater during sex. ‘I was under for several seconds. I couldn’t breathe and started freaking out.’ Then there was the time he was ‘clobbered by her huge beehive during a romp’.
