Pay debts or money off mortgage?

I have recently inherited £5k and don't know what is best to do with the money. I currently have approx £5k in unsecured debts and also have a mortgage of £97k, my house is worth approx £90k so I'm in negative equity. Am I better off paying the £5k off the mortgage and continue paying the unsecured debts on a monthly basis, or should I pay of all the unsecured debt and pay more off the mortgage each month?
Any advice gratefully received!
