Amy Winehouse's ex Blake Fielder-Civil seen for the first time since filming ... trends now

Amy Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil has been pictured for the first time since filming began on her biopic, Back To Black.

The former video production assistant, 40, puffed away on a cigarette while sporting a navy padded jacket and jeans during an outing in Leeds last Monday.

He accessorised with a black Los Angeles Hundreds baseball cap and donned white trainers, before lifting a pair of black headphones over his ears.

Blake, who was married to the late Amy between 2007 and 2009, lifted up his hood and smiled as he walked off into the city.

He's being played by Jack O'Connell in the upcoming film, while Industry's Marisa Abela is playing the Tears Dry On Their Own songstress.

The actors appeared to be in a heated discussion as they filmed an argument scene for Back To Black on Tuesday in London.

Amy's father Mitch Winehouse recently defended the controversial casting choice for the new biopic - after many claimed Marisa and Amy don't look enough alike.

He disagrees with the backlash as he shared this week that Marisa is a 'great choice', admitting it doesn't matter if they 'don't look exactly alike'. 

Chatting with TMZ on the new release about his daughter, Mitch said: 'Marisa is Marisa and Amy is Amy ... so it's no big deal if they aren't mirror images. 

'Marisa is a great choice for the role.'

He continued that Eddie Marsan, who is playing Mitch, doesn't look exactly like him either, noting: 'there’s too much emphasis on looks.

'Because there’s plenty of Hollywood examples of actors not looking like their real-life character.'

Mitch's defense comes as the casting choice of Marisa, who is known for playing Yasmin in BBC One TV series Industry, left many fans divided as they took to social media.
