It follows her journey to stardom including her expulsion at the Sylvia Young theatre school, her time at the performing arts BRIT school and at a private all girls school in Mill Hill where she was miserable because there were no boys.With original interviews from figures throughout her career, "Amy Amy Amy" tracks her early singing career, taking in key moments such as being discovered by Simon Fuller's 19 Management Ltd and getting signed to Island Records when she was only 18. It tracks her meteoric rise as Frank and Back to Black catapulted her to stardom and many awards. It details her turbulent personal life taking in the numerous scandals over her open alcohol and drug use, her tussles with anorexia, bulimia and alleged self harm and her chaotic love life, in particular, her Sid 'n' Nancy style marriage to Blake Civil-Fielder.
