WE exclusively revealed on Monday that Amy Winehouse has a new boyfriend – now, dear readers, we can tell you who it is.
The newly top-heavy babe is dating the son of legendary boxer and grilling machine connoisseur George Foreman.
That might sound completely normal – however, you forget this is the wacky world of Amy Winehouse.
The former heavyweight champ, 60, who revol*utionised low-fat grilling, has five sons and, quite ridiculously, they’re all called George.
They each have a number – from George Jr, to George VI – and are distinguished from one another by nicknames including Monk, Big Wheel and Little George. After having her boobs enlarged at The London Clinic, Amy, 26, told fellow patients all about her new love. And it seems he could be the one to help her stay at the peak of physical fitness.
One patient pal told Goss: “Amy told us that she’s dating George Foreman’s son, she said he is *absolutely gorgeous. “She gushed about him for ages, like a lovesick teenager. She told us he really looks after his body and is heavily into sport, fitness and healthy living.
“Amy also laughed and revealed he’s a very big man. She seemed genuinely excited by his sexiness.”
After doing our calculations, we think the beehived beauty is dating George Foreman III – a 26-year-old boxer and television personality in the US. Along with the rest of the Georges, he appeared in reality series Family Foreman back in 2008.
He goes by the nickname of Monk and is a staggering 6ft 5in, weighing in at 17 stone. Well, Amy did tell her hospital pals he was a very big man!
Boyfriends aside, Amy kept everyone on their toes by just going out for dinner as she dashed between two fish restaurants – one in Covent Garden and one in Marylebone, managing an outfit change in between.

Papers fooled by fake celeb stories
A documentary maker claims he has exposed how easy it is to get fabricated stories about celebrities published in national newspapers. Starsuckers shows a documentary team managing to get fake stories about celebrities such as Amy Winehouse into papers like The Sun, Mirror and Daily Star.
Newspapers often advertise phone numbers and invite people to call in with a story, so the documentary makers did just that. One researcher managed to convince the Mirror and the Daily Star that Amy Winehouse's hair had caught fire from a faulty fuse. It appeared in the Star under the headline 'Amy's beehive is a flaming mess'.
The documentary's director Chris Atkins explained what happened: "We got a tip off that Amy had moved house recently to Barnet and her lights had all gone out one night, so this was the basis of our story." "We just said that Amy's hair set on fire, that was it. The Star then added their own details to it that said: 'A friend of hers ran in and punched her in the head to put the fire out.'
FAKE STORIES THAT MADE THE NEWSPAPERS
The aim of the documentary was to show how easy it is to get hoax stories about celebrities into the papers. Chris says the reporters didn't even make basic checks to see if the stories were true before printing them.
- Guy Ritchie gave himself a black eye whilst juggling some cutlery
- Sarah Harding has a huge collection of books on quantum physics
- Pixie Geldof padded out her bra with a packet of sweets
- Russell Brand admitted he wanted to be a banker when he was young and also had a toy cash register
- Avril Lavigne fell asleep in a nightclub after a night out
Other fake stories they managed to get into the papers included Guy Ritchie giving himself a black eye by juggling cutlery and Pixie Geldof padding out her bra with sweets. Chris says his favourite story is one about Sarah Harding's interest in quantum physics which was published all over the world.
He added: "They put everything in that we had said but they also made up some quotes - that's the other hilarious thing about tabloid journalism, is they just make up quotes.
"So whenever you see: 'A friend said' or 'a chum said' or 'a pal said', that's just the journalist making it up." "It's a really nice study in seeing first of all where these stories come from - they come from people who are skint and fancy a laugh and want to sell stories to papers. "Then the newspapers add their own details, they add their own quotes and then they get picked up by websites and they go all over the world.
"So the Amy Winehouse hair story ended up in The Times of India, which is the largest selling English speaking paper in the world." Newsbeat has asked The Sun, Daily Star and Mirror for their response to the story and they all had no comment.
Starsuckers is released in selected cinemas on 30 October

If true, Amy has surprised me with her choice in men again. But if she's happy and he's a decent guy, OK.

Amy Winehouse in hair fire drama
Barnet nearly lost its most famous, er, barnet after Amy Winehouse turned her new pad into an inferno.
Fuses blew as Wino jammed with mates at the house in North London - and sparks lit up her beehive. We always knew you were a hothead, Amy.
