THE step-father of the man rumoured to be Amy Winehouse's new boyfriend has revealed his drug-hating son could only be a positive influence' on the troubled musician.
Alex Haines, aged 22, from Gloucestershire, an assistant to Winehouse's manager, is said to be dating the Rehab singer after they were pictured leaving a nightspot together.
Speaking from his cottage in Aylburton, in the Forest of Dean, Roger Vine, aged 50, said his son admired Winehouse as creative and clever', but had refused to confirm or deny their affair.
"My son isn't a geek or anything, just clean-living. He's so far away from the image that's been painted of her - he doesn't drink much or do drugs," Mr Vine said.
His comments come after the troubled singer received a police caution for slapping a man during an early hours confrontation.
