Plans for a memorial concert for Amy Winehouse are gathering pace, with stars including Florence Welch lined up to appear.
Amy’s father Mitch is planning to host the show in July, a year after the 27-year-old singer’s death from alcohol poisoning – and he is hoping ITV will televise it.
‘Mitch first mentioned hosting a concert last summer but now the wheels are in motion,’ says a source.

‘Florence, Lily Allen, Jessie J and Mark Ronson are being linked to the gig, but nothing is set in stone yet.’
Proceeds will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation. Mitch is also in talks with Camden Council about erecting a statue of his daughter outside The Roundhouse, the North London venue where she performed her final show.

Is supermodel Elle Macpherson about to get a taste of her own medicine?
Last week I revealed how The Body, 47, is moving to New York and is set to go head-to-head with rival Heidi Klum by launching a TV fashion show with an identical format to Heidi’s Project Runway.
Now I can report that Israeli model Bar Refaeli, 26, is launching her own lingerie brand to go up against Elle’s established Intimates range.
‘At the moment my range is called Undeez, but I think that will change,’ she says.
Let battle commence!

Troubled Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding has been dealt another blow after learning that her former fiance, DJ Tom Crane, has moved to Ibiza and has a new girlfriend.Sarah, 30, was treated for depression and alcohol addiction after her sudden break-up with Crane last year. She was in the headlines again last week following a bust-up with Theo de Vries, a ‘rebound’ boyfriend she met in rehab.
Now a source says: ‘Tom spent New Year’s Eve in Ibiza with a woman called Sabina, who is his first real girlfriend since Sarah. She is tall, dark and beautiful and they met on the island – Tom has made Ibiza his home.
‘When Sarah heard she was gutted. She has been on the phone to him but he’s refusing to consider taking her back unless she goes teetotal. Now someone else has caught his eye, it may be too late for her.’
