Winehouse's hubby wanted Doherty's head smashed

London (ANI): Troubled singer Amy Winehouse's jealous husband Blake Fielder-Civil has offered a hard man 20,000 pounds to have Pete Doherty "smashed to pieces". The offer came up after jailed Fielder-Civil became suspicious that the druggie singers were sleeping together. This doubt was planted in his mind after he saw a picture of dazed Winehouse in The Sun. His fear of Amy being back on drugs and Doherty being the supplier, made him seek the help of 39-year-old ex-bouncer Richard Lyttle, who was on remand for murder but has since been released without charge. "We were sitting in my cell and he said, 'If you get Doherty for me I'll give you �20,000'," the Sun quoted Lyttle as saying.
