Duffy denies holding Lydon grudge

Duffy has insisted that she isn't holding a grudge against John Lydon following their clash at the Mojo Awards in June.

The Welsh star has claimed that she was mocked by Lydon when she collected the Song of the Year prize for her hit track 'Mercy' at the event. Later, her attempts to make peace with the Sex Pistols frontman only served to make things worse.

"He'd been heckling me when I went to pick up an award, shouting 'Duffo' 'up the Duffy', things like that - nice!" Duffy told The Mirror.

"When I picked up the award I had to walk past him so I went to say 'Hi' and suddenly he had me pinned against the wall. I just went white and had to get away. I just had to leave the building through the back door, it was horrible. I went home with a heavy heart and an award.

"But I'm not a person to hold a grudge. The only reason you become strong is because of the things you experience in life."

Lydon recently confirmed that he has no regrets over the incident and refused to make a public apology to Duffy.
