Amy's whack backed

Arms and elbows and oops-a-daisy

James Gostelow went to Glastonbury and unwittingly has become famous for being whacked by Amy Winehouse during her shambolic set.

The 25-year-old Londoner was allegedly elbowed in the fore-head by the badly bee-hived one but doesn’t have a problem about the incident.

He reckons he was clobbered in a case of mistaken identity: ‘I saw a hat being thrown from behind me and it hit Amy's beehive,’ he said.

‘She looked down, saw me looking up, and her elbow went for me.

‘She caught my forehead, then someone may have shouted something from the back, which is when she went in again.

‘At the end of the day it is all part of being at the front and being pushed by thousands of people. It is all part of the Glastonbury experience. I'm just pleased I got to see her. She did a great act.

‘Not everyone can say they have been hit by Amy Winehouse. I just want to shake the person who threw the hat,’ he told the BBC.

Perhaps next he could hang outside The Ivy and stick a camera in Jay Kay’s face and get punched by the little squirt and maybe, if he’s lucky, get booted in the groin by Prince in Minneapolis.
