The duo risked backlash from Amy’s devoted fans by filming at the Rehab singer’s real Camden home.

Amy’s body was tragically found in the North London property in 2011 when she was just 27-year-old.

Despite criticism the film is in poor taste Mitch has publicly backed Marisa to play his daughter.

Mitch said: “Marisa is Marisa and Amy is Amy… so it’s no big deal if they aren’t mirror images.
