Tabloids have hailed Amy Winehouse a ‘hero’ after she rescued an injured dinghy sailor in the Caribbean.

The singer reportedly went to the aid of a 39-year-old woman during a sailing lesson in St Lucia. Louise Williams got into difficulties when a ‘six-foot wave’ capsized her dinghy and she fell onto rocks in shallow water.

Williams, from Plymouth said: ‘She picked me up and took me across to the showers and was constantly asking, ‘Are you all right? It shows there’s another side to her.”
