Duffy says she's scared about returning to her home town of Nefyn in Wales in case people think she has changed.

The singer, who has enjoyed a whirlwind 2008 in both the UK and America, believes the town will be very different when she returns.

“In my mind it hasn’t changed a bit – everyone is still drinking in the same bar, dancing in the same club, people are still in the same darts team,” she told the Daily Star.

“We have a man who works in the local chippie called Dick Fish because in Wales they call you by what you do – so I’m Duffy Cantores, which means singer.

“But I’m freaking out that when I go back people will think I’ve changed. Everyone has been so supportive I don’t want them to feel let down.”

Duffy pulled one of the biggest crowds when she performed at the V Festival in Staffordshire and Chelmsford last weekend.
