Amy Winehouse's father is set to follow in his famous daughter's footsteps by recording his own album.

Mitch Winehouse, whose current occupation is a taxi driver, says the retro swing record will include new material and some covers of his idol Frank Sinatra.

Winehouse stated: "ItÂ’s a Sinatra-ish album. There will be six covers of Sinatra."

It is thought that his famous daughter will collaborate in the songwriting process and record backing vocals.

He has also launched his own TV show, 'Showbiz Rant', in which he chats to celebs in the back of his taxi for online TV channel Liv.

Mitch Winehouse is also rumoured to be one of the stars going into the I'm A Celeb jungle for its next series.
