Dionne gave an interview to Jane Gordon and mentioned 'lovely' auntie Amy. Here's an excerpt of the interview: "Dionne Bromfield is telling a rather charming – if surprising – story about her Auntie Amy. It isn’t the kind of revelation that would ordinarily be worth repeating if, that is, Auntie Amy was any ordinary auntie. But Dionne is talking about her godmother and musical mentor Amy Winehouse, and the 14-year-old’s insight into the private life of the troubled singer is almost shocking in its cosy domesticity. ‘You know what? Auntie Amy makes the best food ever. It’s her Jewish side – seriously, she really can cook. She makes the best meatballs ever – better than Jamie Oliver. She is like a proper housewife, if you know what I mean.’ [...] Clearly Amy (who would have been around Dionne’s age when Julie gave birth) is neither a real auntie nor a real godmother, but as a mentor she has become so close to Dionne that it seems ‘godmother’ has been adopted by all as the most appropriate title. ‘My mum knew Amy’s dad first and then my mum and Amy used to hang together, and then I popped out and she was, like, “Hey!” We are family,’ Dionne says with a grin. ‘Amy is really protective of me and that’s a good thing because I am only 14. She is like a mother duck with me,’ she says. Does she spoil Dionne? ‘She is lovely. We go shopping together and we love watching comedy programmes and she buys great presents. She has a heart of gold,’ she says. Read the hole interview here.
