Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace Where you've seen her: As Rosa Santos on All My Children and starring in the chap-tastic Brooks & Dunn video “Ain't Nothing 'Bout You
Overcome with grief, she was last seen curled in a ball unable to contain her emotions outside Amy Winehouse's home in Camden, north London.
Today, former Big Brother contestant Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace went on morning TV to talk about her 'wonderful, talented friend'.
However, the 32-year-old glamour model, who did not attend yesterday's private funeral, also revealed she has received messages of abuse over claims she encouraged Amy's wild ways.
She believes these come as a result of reports that appeared after Amy's death that neighbours had seen the singer fall out of a taxi after a night out with Aisleyne a few days earlier.But she told that she had not seen the Back To Black singer for two months.
She added: 'The papers are saying the last time I was with her we were drinking. In fact the last time I was with her was in her house, in her kitchen, we were drinking tea and having a girlie gossip as I would with any friend. Just talking about guys.'
Aisleyne told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford: 'It's devastating. I'm heartbroken anyway, losing Amy. I just want her back. But to have this thrown at me, and all the internet hate that I'm getting now.
'The messages have been just vile and it's hard because it's not true. There's not a scrap of truth in it.'
However, some dismissed the appearance as a publicity stunt by a woman whose career is flailing.
Kelly Osborne, a close friend of Amy's who went to yesterday's funeral, alluded to Aisleyne's appearance on Twitter, said some 'friends' are cashing in following the sudden death.
She said: 'Any 'friend' of amy's talking 2 the press/tv are not her actual friend's. her real friends have more dignity then to get $ 2 talk about her!'
Aisleyne was also asked if she had spoken to Amy about her battle with drugs and alcohol.
She said: 'I've dealt with addiction in my own family.
'It's hard to speak to the person about it. What I will say is, it's not glamorous it's not exciting. There are a lot of people suffering from addiction and the first step is to admit it.'
But she insisted Amy had beaten the battle.
'She got herself completely well and she did the impossible, which was to get clean.
'I'm just so proud of her for getting past it and overcoming it. She did the impossible as I say and she really did.'
Amy fans have taken to Twitter to vent their frustration about the interview.
One wrote: 'Didn't take my nemesis Aisleyne Hogan-Wallace long to cash in on the publicity of Amy Winehouse's death by appearing on This Morning, I see'.
Another said she was making the death 'all about her' while another wrote that she just wanted 'to be famous again'.
The jazz singer, 27, was found dead at her Camden home on Saturday.
Aisleyne was seen outside the house in floods of tears later that day. Unable to stand up, she fell to the ground and curled into a ball.
She said this morning she had earlier been with one of Amy's best friends who got a call about the death.
'She got the call and we went straight to the house. It didn't sink in. These things sort of comes in waves. You believe it and then you don't and then you think 'This is not real, it's not happening, she'll be fine'.
Missing Amy: Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace talks about her friendship with the star
Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace cried as she spoke of her friendship with Amy Winehouse during an interview on This Morning, earlier today.
As well as coming to terms with the death of the 27 year old singer, the former Big Brother star has also had to handle criticism in the press and online abuse, after it was reported that she was seen getting out a taxi with troubled Amy, just days before she died.
Aisleyne told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford: “It's devastating. I'm heartbroken anyway, losing Amy. I just want her back. But to have this thrown at me, and all the internet hate that I'm getting now.
“The messages have been just vile and it's hard because it's not true. There's not a scrap of truth in it.”
Dressed head to toe in black, she explained: “A certain journalist said that I was seen with her a few days before and we had got out of a cab and she collapsed and I helped her in. He also said that I need to ask myself basically what I was thinking being in that situation with Amy when she was perhaps quite fragile, but there’s absolutely not one scrap of truth in it.”
Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace rose to become notable in the United Kingdom when she was selected as a contestant in the seventh series of the Channel 4 TV series, Big Brother, in 2006. She entered the Big Brother house on Day 12, and became known for her clashes with fellow contestants Nikki Grahame and Grace Adams-Short, and for being voted into “the house next door” by the public — a secret house, where she was forced to choose who, out of five new contestants, would become new housemates. n Horgan-Wallace reached the final on day 93; she came third with 22% of the public vote. She was the highest placed female housemate of the series. It was reported that Horgan-Wallace’s popularity shocked the show’s producers, with tabloid sources suggesting that they had attempted to “engineer” the series’ finalists, and did not expect the swing in public support for Aisleyne.
In August 2010, she turned down an offer to appear in Ultimate Big Brother in order to shoot her scenes as ‘Maria’ in the British urban comedy movie, Anuvahood instead.
