Police have arrested two people over a video which allegedly showed Amy Winehouse smoking a crack pipe.
John Blagrove and Cara Burton have been charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine and MDMA, also known as ecstasy, and have been bailed to appear at Thames magistrates' court in July, the Metropolitan police have confirmed.
In the video, published by the Sun newspaper in January, the Back to Black star is seen appearing to inhale from a crack pipe after telling onlookers she had taken "six valium".
The troubled singer was also seen appearing to take cocaine and ecstasy in the footage.
Winehouse, 24, was arrested at Limehouse police station on May 7th in connection with the alleged possession of a controlled drug but will not face charges, police confirmed last month.
"The crown prosecution service has now reviewed the case and no further action is being taken," a Metropolitan police spokesperson said at the time, while the singer's spokesman said she was "pleased to be able to move on".
"She particularly looks forward to seeing her fans again at eagerly-awaited festival performances this summer," the spokesman added.
Last weekend, a new video emerged showing the singer surrounded by evidence of drugs and singing racist chants.
The home video footage was filmed by husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently in prison facing trial for GBH and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
