The husband of singer Amy Winehouse has admitted attacking a pub landlord and perverting the course of justice, it can be reported.

Blake Fielder-Civil, 26, of Camden, north London, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm on James King, 36, and also to perverting the course of justice relating to a 2006 pub brawl.

The pleas were made during a week of legal argument at London's Snaresbrook Crown Court where Winehouse made two appearances in support of her husband.

Judge David Radford lifted an order banning reporting of the guilty pleas of Fielder-Civil and his co-defendants and also an allegation that Mr King could have been subjected to intimidation or duress.

Michael Brown, 25, of Carshalton, Surrey, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm and also perverting the course of justice.

Anthony Kelly, also 25, of Chalk Farm, north London, and James Kennedy, 19, of Hatfield, Hertfordshire, also pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice around November 2007.

King, of Risley, Derbyshire, alone faces trial on a charge of perverting the course of justice.

Winehouse, 24, and Fielder-Civil, both from north London, married in May, 2007, in Miami.

Fielder-Civil, a one-time music video assistant, has spent much of his first year of marriage behind bars, having been remanded in custody ahead of his trial which had been due to begin this month before his guilty pleas.

Winehouse appeared in court last week to support Fielder-Civil, who had been attending lengthy pre-trial hearings.
