Fit again: Amy Winehouse, seen here in London last month, has now left the Priory after another stint in rehab
Amy Winehouse has checked out of the Priory Clinic after intensive treatment over her boozing and is clear to carry on with her comeback European tour dates later this month, it's been announced.
The 27-year-old Rehab star was admitted to the southwest London branch of the clinic last week for treatment ahead of dates in eastern Europe - and as Mail Online reported, swigged a miniature bottle of vodka on the way in.
However, she will continue to be seen as an outpatient, her spokesman said today.
Winehouse has famously had a battle with drink and drug use since finding fame.
Her latest visit is said to have been at the suggestion of her father, Mitch, over concerns she was drinking too much prior to her live shows.
The star's spokesman said: 'Amy Winehouse has completed her assessment at the Priory Clinic in London and will continue as an outpatient.
'She is now looking forward to playing shows around Europe this summer and is raring to go.
'She would like to send a huge thanks to all her fans for the messages of support she has received over the last week and can't wait to see them.'
Winehouse said last October she had been drug-free for three years but still likes to have a drink.

However, she's now thought to have got her drinking back under control ahead of the lucrative live dates where it is hoped she will premiere some new material.
The dates kick off in Belgrade, Serbia.
She then heads to Turkey to play Istanbul's Kucuk Ciftlik Park on June 20 and also has dates in Greece, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Hungary and Romania, finishing up on 15 August at Iolanda Balas Soter Stadium, Bucharest.
The star has been working on her long-awaited new album, the follow-up to her 2006 breakthrough multi-million selling Back To Black, for some three years now.
On stage: The star - seen here in 2007 - has a string of European dates this summer, starting next week
Last summer, she promised it would see the light of day in January this year, but there's no sign of a release date as yet.
She said last July: 'It's going to be very much the same as my second album, where there's a lot of jukebox stuff and songs that are – just jukebox, really.'
In 2008, bosses at Universal Records were calling her new material 'exceptional', and in October 2009, the co-president of Island Records said he had been 'floored' by demos.
However, the public has not heard a single note as yet.
