LONDON, June 12 (UPI) -- Police say they charged a London couple with conspiring to supply drugs after a probe into a video allegedly showing Amy Winehouse smoking an illegal substance.

Britain's Telegraph newspaper said John Blagrove and Cara Burton were charged with supplying cocaine and a form of ecstasy after a police investigation turned up a computer memory stick that allegedly belonged to the couple and reportedly contained video of Winehouse smoking drugs with a makeshift glass pipe. the video allegedly showed rocker Bob Geldof's daughter, Peaches, appearing to take part in a cash exchange for something, the newspaper said.

Images from the video appeared in The Sun and showed the singer appearing to smoke something, allegedly snorting ecstasy and talking about taking six valium pills.

Winehouse and Peaches Geldof were both questioned by police, but investigators said neither celebrity would face charges, the Telegraph reported.
