Amy Winehouse's former husband Blake Fielder-Civil has been charged with burglary and possessing a fake firearm.

Fielder-Civil Civil, 28, and another man, Christopher Sylvester, 29, were arrested in Rawdon Leeds on February 28.

They have been charged over a burglary during which electrical goods and jewellery were stolen. A third offence relates to the vehicle they were travelling in when they were stopped.

Both men have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at Leeds Crown Court on March 9, reports Mirror.co.uk.

Winehouse and Fielder-Civil married in 2007 in Miami but split two years later. In 2008, Fielder-Civil was jailed for 27 months for assaulting a man and trying to cover the incident up.
