KT Tunstall has apologised to Shakira after she claimed the singer was ‘shoving her lady parts in her face’ with her sexy music video.
Speaking in a new interview on Tuesday, the musician, 50, admitted she ‘was jealous because it was making her successful’ as she questioned her own perception.
Reflecting on her past comments in an interview with The Times, KT said: ‘What business is it of mine to comment on anything that another artist does?
‘And why have I got a problem with it? Maybe I was jealous because it was making her successful.
‘It was never on the cards for me to be showing skin as part of my image.’
After the release of Shakira’s video for She Wolf in 2010, KT said the ‘X-rated’ video left her ‘shocked.’

Speaking in a new interview on Tuesday, the musician, 50, admitted she ‘was jealous because it was making her successful’ as she questioned her own perception
She told Daily Record at the time: ‘You’ve got little girls watching some pretty X-rated stuff.
‘The Shakira video actually shocked me and I am not easily shocked. I was like, ‘You are shoving your lady bits in my face. I didn’t ask for that.
‘It is shocking but it seems they need to shock to get attention.’
KT went on to say that ‘stripping off’ is not something that she would ‘want to be a part of.’
The singer is best known for her 2004 multi-million-selling album Eye to the Telescope, featuring global single Suddenly I See.
In May, KT revealed that she went deaf in one ear after attending a Spice Girls concert.
The hitmaker explained on Channel Ten’s The Project on Wednesday night she had travelled on a long flight to get to the concert.
However, the pressure of the flight and the loud music at the show led to her suffering from sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL).

‘I lost my hearing on tour in 2018 on one side. [Earlier] I had come off a long haul flight and I went to a Spice Girls concert which was amazing,’ KT explained.
‘I guess it was a combination of working too hard, travelling too much and something too loud and I lost some of my hearing.’
KT revealed she suffered from vertigo for three months but it eventually disappeared.
The Scottish singer recently told OK! magazine: ‘It was a huge shock. I’m 97 per cent deaf in that ear now and can’t use a hearing aid because it’s gone too far….
‘I’m not blaming the Spice Girls, but I think it overloaded my nervous system. I woke up with ringing in my ear, like I’d gone underwater. I couldn’t hear the car indicator or a shower in another room.’
She continued: ‘But the worst part wasn’t the deafness, it was the vertigo.’
‘I lost my balance completely, for two or three months. That was really disabling. Thankfully it passed, and I can still write, record, perform – just in mono.
‘I started seeing it as a message from the universe telling me to slow down, look after myself. I still tour, but I’m more careful.’
