Duffy has admitted she is a "cheap date".

The Mercy singer confessed it doesn't take much to get her drunk when she is out with a guy.

She said: "I get p****d on two glasses of wine. I'm not going to lie. I'm a cheap date."

The 23-year-old Welsh star - who performed at Radio 1's Big Weekend music festival in Maidstone, Kent, on Saturday - also revealed she is finally getting used to the fame game.

She explained: "At the beginning I was really careful - you know, early to bed - but now I'm used to it I push the boat out when I can. I can get away with four hours sleep but any less than that and it's bad. It's day and game over."

Duffy, who performed a cover of Madonna's Borderline during her set on the main stage, admitted she was terrified about performing a Madonna song during her set.

She added: “I put a bit of thought into it. I think if Madonna heard it she would say, ‘Oi, behave, Welsh singer bird.'"

Madonna was the star attraction at the free event wowing fans with a set which included new song Candy Shop and a reworking of her hit Hung Up.
