Duffy has revealed that she was booted out of her school choir for being too loud.

During a promotional tour of the US, the 23-year-old Welsh singer confessed: "I was thrown out because I didn't fit in. I was really loud. I've always struggled with that actually."

The 'Mercy' singer recently made a mark in the US, performing at the renowned Apollo concert hall in New York.

Duffy releases her new single 'Warwick Avenue' in the UK on May 26.
