SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The BBC said the elder Winehouse will be one of several guest presenters to help out Gary Crowley while his regular co-host Danny Baker is on vacation.

Winehouse, a cab driver, is scheduled to appear on the afternoon phone-in show Sept. 1, the British broadcaster said.

Winehouse frequently speaks to the media on his daughter's behalf.

"Mitch has been a regular contributor to BBC London, calling into our phone-in shows", the station's assistant editor Justin Kings said. "He always has something worthwhile to say and a good sense of humor. Although Mitch's life is extraordinary because of Amy, he's still a London dad and I think our listeners can relate to him in that way."
