The Mercy singer has revealed the pressures of fame have taken their toll, forcing her to consider “disappearing”.
The 24-year-old Welsh songstress has had too many encounters with over zealous fans which have left her shaken.
She said: “As a girl, I though I was superhuman. But I’m bordering on a nervous breakdown.
“The scary thing is this feels like just the beginning. It would be easy to become a recluse. I have sold my soul and I’m no longer anonymous.
“It can be really frightening when there are 15 lads on one side of the pub and a gang of girls on the other who all want your photo.
“I walked into a restaurant in Italy and there were 30 lads in there chanting at me. I’m never calm anymore.”
Despite debating whether she can “handle” being a celebrity, the star believes it would not be fair on her fans to quit now.
She added: “It would be wrong for me to disappear. I have to play for the fans. I just have to remember that the majority of people are good.”
Duffy is set to support Coldplay on their US tour.
