She said: "It's gone, everything is gone. Which is probably a bit more frightening because before I had certain references I was compared to but now it's just me on my own."

"It's OK. You want to be recognized for who you are but the moment that happens it's a bit scary. I don't really know what I want any more, to be honest."

Despite her fears, the success of her debut album "Rockferry" - which sold more than six million copies in the U.K. - has helped to boost the 24-year-old singer's confidence.

Duffy told Australia's Sydney Morning Herald newspaper: "I think I've stopped apologizing. 'Sorry, sorry I'm singing.' 'Sorry, did I trip over the mic?' So f***ing what, I'm singing, let's get stuck in together."

"You're here, I'm here, what's the worst that could happen? You could put it in other ways - was it being shy, was it being coy, was it being afraid? I don't know. But apologizing is the only word."
