The grieving daughter of a woman once caught in a love triangle with singer Amy Winehouse<\/a> has paid a heartbreaking tribute to her ‘beautiful mum’, saying life will be \u2018so boring\u2019 without her.<\/p>\n

Sarah Aspin, 47, who went on to have a relationship with Winehouse\u2019s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil<\/a>, was found dead at her modest council house in Leeds, West Yorks.<\/p>\n

Her death on Saturday morning is being treated as ‘unexplained’ by detectives.<\/p>\n

Ms Aspin was already a mother of two when she met Fielder-Civil in 2011, following the collapse of his turbulent marriage to the Back To Black star, who died later that year.<\/p>\n

The couple went on to have two children together before reportedly splitting in 2018.<\/p>\n

Following the tragedy, her eldest daughter paid tearful tributes to her mother on social media.<\/p>\n

Sharing childhood pictures and videos of the pair together, Melody-Rose Hampshire wrote: ‘Love and miss you forever and always mum.<\/p>\n

‘Rest in eternal peace. Life [is] going to be boring without you in it.’<\/p>\n

‘That’s when I saw the police swarming the property and I thought to myself, something was up.<\/p>\n

‘Sarah lived in that house alone but a man I believed to be her partner would often go round.<\/p>\n

‘They hadn’t put up a cordon or tape or anything. It just seemed like they were searching the house. It is unclear what has happened, but it is tragic.’<\/p>\n

Ms Aspin first met Fielder-Civil during a spell in rehab in 2009, while he continued his on-off relationship with Winehouse into 2010.<\/p>\n

The couple welcomed son Jack in May 2011, following by daughter Lola-Rose in April 2013, though their relationship was overshadowed by his tangled love life.<\/p>\n

Ms Aspin even warned Amy to ‘keep her hands off’ her boyfriend – warning her: ‘He is mine and we are a family now.’<\/p>\n

Ms Aspin’s cousin Leanne Eastwood wrote on social media: ‘Sweet dreams to my beautiful cousin Sarah Aspin. Hope you finally found peace. Till we meet again. Gutted.’<\/p>\n

Several other neighbours confirmed seeing emergency services at the flat over the weekend before they left evening.<\/p>\n

One said: ‘What has happened is sad. It has rocked the community, it is a nice, quiet area. We have lots of elderly residents, and young families.<\/p>\n

‘We are all friendly, we feel safe living here. Seeing police like that isn’t a common sight.’<\/p>\n

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: ‘Police are continuing enquiries following the death of a woman at a property in the Swillington area of Leeds.<\/p>\n

‘Officers were called to an address in Primrose Hill Drive at 6.38am on Saturday 7 February, following a concern for safety report.<\/p>\n

‘A woman was treated by paramedics at the scene but died a short time later. Her death is currently being treated as unexplained.’<\/p>\n

Ms Aspin previously spoke after Amy’s death in July 2011 about the emotional impact on Fielder-Civil as he remained behind bars in HMP Armley in Leeds.<\/p>\n

She said at the time, following a visit to the prison: ‘He is devastated and shattered. He just can\u2019t take it in that she\u2019s dead and he\u2019ll never see her again.<\/p>\n

‘Blake rang me on Saturday after the prison authorities told him she\u2019d died.<\/p>\n

‘I just couldn\u2019t console him. He was in total shock.<\/p>\n

‘Blake is the father of our son. But I saw him and Amy together and I know they were really in love and they were soulmates.<\/p>\n

‘She always loved him and he always loved her – but it was just never going to work.<\/p>\n

‘Basically they couldn\u2019t live with each other and they could not live without each other.<\/p>\n

‘It is hard for me knowing he still loved her, but I do understand his feelings.’<\/p>\n

Sarah added: ‘I think Amy could not get over the fact that Blake and I had had our son Jack. I think it hit her pretty hard.<\/p>\n

‘She would have made a fantastic mum, though, despite all her problems. What\u2019s happened is so tragic – an absolute waste.’<\/p>\n

Fielder-Civil began a whirlwind romance with Amy when they met in 2005.<\/p>\n

Amy wrote hit singles You Know I\u2019m No Good and Back To Black about their tumultuous relationship and divorce in 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The grieving daughter of a woman once caught in a love triangle with singer Amy Winehouse has paid…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":418572,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[122482,97,96,1325,59,2375,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-418571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-amy-winehouse","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-facebook","tag-gb","tag-leeds","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=418571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=418571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
