Like I said before, I'm not going to focus on the negative. You look really good.' Or if she'd done her hair really nice, IвЂ™d say вЂњyour hair looks really high today.вЂќ Just making her feel confident in herself.ДЄnd were you aware then of issues that had been going on in her life, like her marriage breakdown with Blake Fielder Civil? I mean, I'm not stupid, but at the same time I was very much like, 'No, I can see this as somebody who is wanting to get better and trying to get better, so I'm not going to add fuel to the fire and keep putting them down.So my way of helping was by being like, if she'd been putting on weight, I'd be like, 'You've put on nice weight today. She was always wanting to be on 10 out of 10 when she was around me. How did she shield you from that sort of dark side of her life? In the documentary, you talk about how the media and public perception of Amy, with all the chaos and the demons was not the Amy you knew or ever saw. I remember crying and almost screaming to not go to the school, because I just thought no one's going to accept me. I was like, 'No, no, no.' We had a huge fight, me, her, and my mum. All of these kids are just going to be just going to be pirouetting down the hallway, and that's not me. And I really did not want to go to that school, because I just thought that it was going to be something out of Fame. Obviously not at the same time as me, but she went there. And she got you into the Sylvia Young Theatre school, whose past pupils have included Adele and Dua Lipa? How did you know about this stuff?' I'm like, 'I just found it on YouTube.' And she'd be like, 'Okay, well, listen to this song.' And it might be some Marvin Gaye song, and she'd be like, 'Study it.' And then the next time I'd see her, she'd be like, 'So what did you learn about this song? Give me three things.'.She was really adamant on me getting singing lessons. I'd listen to music or songs and I'd say to her, 'Oh, did you hear this song?' And she'd be like, 'Yeah. So when you have got the best there, you absorb all of that in. And then the more I started getting into music and having a liking for it, she was like, 'Well, hey, let me help you.' To be able to learn from the best is an amazing thing. And then I got introduced one day to Amy when I was six, and I think the thing that drew me and Amy together was the fact that I was just very innocent, and I was just very honest with what I would think. But my mum knew Amy out of the music industry too through friends and family, as she's Jewish as well. My Mum and Amy were friends for a while and she was in the music industry, doing PA work.

How did Amy come into your life and become your godmother?

And I think with me, I was the youngest person that was really around her in a world full of adults that I kind of gave her the motherly side that she wanted. She bled that out, literally, music, but she also just wanted to be an amazing wife and a brilliant mother. Music, that was her passion, that was her love. One of the most interesting points in the documentary is that you revealed that her life purpose was to be a mother and a wife. I think people have viewed my relationship with her from afar or on surface level, but it would be great to allow people to see how she really was, which was just the kind, loving, caring Amy. And then I thought there's such an amazing side to Amy that I would love people to see. I kept thinking about her for quite some time.she just kept popping in my brain a little bit more where I'd been doing a good job at not thinking about her for a solid eight years. Why did you feel that this was the right time to revisit Amy's life and your relationship with her and to make this documentary?
