Grammy award-winning singer Duffy has revealed she was drugged and raped after being held captive by an attacker.

The 35-year-old Welsh star posted on her verified Instagram account that her "recovery took time".

The performer, who had a UK number-one single Mercy in 2008, wrote to her 33,000 followers: "The truth is, and please trust me I am OK and safe now."

She wrote "I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days,"

Duffy, whose debut album Rockferry went seven times platinum as it went to number one in six countries, won three Brit Awards and a Grammy following her breakthrough.
