Amy Winehouse Becomes A Hero After Rescuing A Woman

Amy Winehouse has been hailed a hero after rescuing a woman. The "Rehab" singer dashed to the aid of 39-year-old Louise Williams who got into difficulties during a sailing lesson close to Amy's hotel in St. Lucia when a 6 foot wave struck her boat, throwing her overboard onto rocks.

Louise told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I was bowled over by her kindness. She went out of her way to help."

"A six-foot wave caught the boat and I went flying and hit a rock."

"Amy was on the beach 20 meters away and she ran across immediately and said, 'Let's have a look at you.' She picked me up and took me across to the showers and was constantly asking, 'Are you all right?'"

After helping Louise wash her cuts and fetching dry towels to wrap her in, Amy proudly posed for a picture with Louise, an admin worker from Plymouth.

Amy, 25, has spoken about the incident, saying: "I thought she was going to die."

The troubled star is currently enjoying an extended holiday on the Caribbean island where her antics - including flirting with staff and guests and allegedly stealing drinks - has annoyed fellow holiday-makers, but Louise insists Amy is a kind soul.

She added: "It shows there's another side to her."
