Amy Winehouse’s former husband Blake Fielder-Civil appeared on Good Morning Britain on what would have been the legendary singer’s 40th birthday to discuss whether he’s taken the blame for her death.

On Thursday’s episode (14 September), hosts Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid interviewed the 41-year-old about his relationship with the ‘Back to Black’ singer.

When asked if he would have done things differently looking back at their time together, he said: “Almost everything…"

Speaking about what would have been a milestone birthday for the beloved Camden-based singer, he said: "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."

Blake admitted he feels he is blamed for Winehouse's death, which spurred him to on the breakfast talk show on Thursday to speak about her.

"That's one of the reasons I wanted to speak today," he admitted. "I do [get blamed] and that's ok. I can't change what other people feel about that, but for me personally, I needed to stop carrying that burden. I've carried it for over 10 years.

"I'm the only person within that story that's ever held any accountability, I tried to say I made some huge mistakes. I was a 20 something old drug addict.

"I had no idea how to make myself clean, let alone someone else. There were vested interests in Amy carrying on performing too. The fragility is what people connected with in the albums."

Speaking about Winehouse's family, Reid quizzed: "I wonder whether there is some kind of relationship that you can re-establish with Amy's family? Or whether they have any interest, or whether that's too sensitive for them?"

To which Winehouse's former husband replied: "I'm not sure about their interests per se, but for me personally, that's something I go over in my head a lot.

"But you are right, the more I've the more I've kind of come away from that and been able to put what I call 'clean time' under my belt, and as the months turn into years and you start kind of rebuilding yourself.

"There have been times where I thought 'Would there be value in me speaking to her family?' And maybe making some sort of reconciliation? Because we all loved that person."

Reid then asked: "Have you tried? Have you been told not to?"

He replied: "I haven't to be honest. I've kind of ascertained from my own kind of thinking."

Winehouse and and Fielder-Civil got married in Miami in 2007 after an on-off relationship and they divorced in 2009, two years before Winehouse's death in July 2011.
