Blake, who was wed to the singer between 2007 and 2009, previously admitted introducing her to heroin and is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning aged just 27 in 2011 (pictured together in 2005)
Blake, who was wed to the singer between 2007 and 2009, previously admitted introducing her to heroin and is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning aged just 27 in 2011.
In the trailer, Amy declares she wants to be known for more than her singing and her desperation to be a mother, before sadly dying childless.
In one emotional scene she describes Blake as 'her life and soul' before their on/off relationship inspires her to write the iconic track Back To Black.
Last year Blake said he'd have done 'almost everything differently' in their relationship as he marked what would have been Amy's 40th birthday.
Blake, who rarely gives interviews, was asked by Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard what he would have done differently. He replied: 'Almost everything'.
He continued: 'Its sad but I wanted to say happy birthday to Amy. It's devastating she's not here. I think about her all the time, I thought about her this morning when I said my happy birthday to her, she was my best friend.
'If it wasn't for certain factors I think it could have been a different outcome. Everything happened very quickly for Amy. We were young.'
It comes after Amy's father Mitch Winehouse, who is played by Eddie Marsan in the movie,
