Amy's dad Mitch said: "Amy is very ill and is suffering horrific withdrawal
symptoms - shivering and constantly throwing up. Her body is expelling all
the rubbish.
"One thing helping Amy is her Marilyn Monroe films. Amy loves 'Some Like It
Hot'. She's a huge fan of Monroe and thinks she's wonderful."
Monroe tragically died at the age of 36 after overdosing on sleeping pills.
Mitch also revealed he hasn't seen Amy yet because doctors aren't sure if
she is ready for visitors.
He added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Amy is battling bravely against
addiction. She's had no visitors because we didn't want her to get
emotional.
"She's compliant and follows everything they tell her."
However, if Amy - whose husband Blake Fielder-Civil is currently in prison
awaiting trial for charges of assault and conspiracy to pervert the course
of justice - decides to leave the clinic against doctors wishes she could
face being sectioned.
The Mental Health Act says a patient can be held if two doctors and a close
relative feel they are a threat to themselves.
