Daily Mail: Amy Winehouse on TV BEFORE she was infamous

There's a youtube video in the article. I loved the Fast Show!

Fast Show star Paul Whitehouse has spoken about the day the show had a freshfaced Amy Winehouse as an extra. The singer, best known now for her beehive, tattoos and drink and drugs lifestyle, was 14 when she appeared in the comedy show's Competitive Dad sketch.
Competitive Dad was a longrunning sketch, where a father is overcritical of his children and tries to outdo them. Dressed as a fairy in a school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Winehouse and other children performed until Competitive Dad heckles and goes up on stage himself. At the time, Winehouse was a student at the Sylvia Young Theatre School from which she was later expelled for not applying herself and for piercing her nose.

The clip was shown at a gala at the Dominion Theatre last night for the launch of the DVD boxset of the Fast Show.

Whitehouse said: "We didn't know she was going to be famous at the time. We only found out about it when she mentioned it in an interview, so felt we had to show it."
The Fast Show one-off reunion had stars such as David Tennant, Richard E Grant and Paul We l ler in cameo appearances.
Harry Enfield and Dawn French were in the audience to promote the new DVD containing all of the Fast Show sketches.
