Fans of Welsh singer Duffy were overjoyed to catch a rare glimpse of the star since she retreated from the spotlight, as she stunned in a fresh TikTok video.

In the clip, the now-40 year old glowed while lip-syncing the chorus of her iconic hit "Mercy," which has been revived with a pulsating club remix.The appearance marks her first public insight since revealing her harrowing experiences of abduction and assault.

In 2020, Duffy courageously disclosed her traumatic kidnapping experience in a heartfelt essay titled "The 5th House." She recounted the chilling details: "It was my birthday, I was drugged at a restaurant, I was drugged then for four weeks and travelled to a foreign country. "I can't remember getting on the plane and came round in the back of a travelling vehicle.

I was put into a hotel room, and the perpetrator returned and raped me. I remember the pain and trying to stay conscious in the room after it happened." She pressed on, sharing: "I was stuck with him for another day, he didn't look at me, I was to walk behind him, I was somewhat conscious and withdrawn.
