The Welsh singer has revealed more details of being kidnapped and raped.

Pop singer Duffy has shared a harrowing account of being raped, drugged and held captive for weeks - and said she was telling her "dark" story to help "others who have suffered the same".

Via a post on her verified Instagram page, the 35 year-old said that she was drugged at a restaurant on her birthday before being held captive in her own home and taken to a foreign country.

In a long post written on a web page that she shared a link to via Instagram, Duffy added: "I hope it comforts you to feel less ashamed if you feel alone."

"It was my birthday, I was drugged at a restaurant, I was drugged then for four weeks and travelled to a foreign country," she said. "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. I was stuck with him for another day, he didn't look at me, I was to walk behind him, I was somewhat conscious and withdrawn. I could have been disposed of by him."

She said that she does not know how she had "the strength to endure those days", and claimed the perpetrator made "veiled confessions of wanting to kill me". When Duffy broke her silence about the incident she said many of her fans would "wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why".
