Katherine Jenkins was left ‘distressed’ last night after she lambasted by a burns survivor for appearing to bemoan her good looks.<\/p>\n

Emily Savage, who was left severely burned as a child in a house fire, criticised the Welsh singer for being seemingly ungrateful in a Channel 4 documentary last night.<\/p>\n

However, Miss Jenkins has vehemently denied ever making the quote and admitted she was ‘distraught’ at being portrayed as big-headed.<\/p>\n

\n

Lost in translation: Katherine Jenkins said she was misquoted after burns survivor Emily Savage criticised her on TV last night<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dublin graduate Savage, 25, had heard the quote in a Sunday tabloid newspaper interview\u00a0 – translated from a Belgian interview – last summer and believed it was true.<\/p>\n

Jenkins, 30, was quoted as complaining her good looks made it difficult to assert her credibility as a classical artist.<\/p>\n

Watching the show at home last night, Jenkins was horrified when her name was brought up by Savage during the documentary series Katie Piper: My Beautiful Friends.<\/p>\n

Savage said in the episode: ‘It really annoyed me when Katherine Jenkins came out and said it was very difficult being beautiful because people don’t take her seriously.<\/p>\n

‘Like I am going to feel sorry for Katherine Jenkins. Get over it. Would she prefer to look like me? Does she want to swap lives?’<\/p>\n

\n\"Working<\/p>\n

Working things out: A distressed Katherine took to Twitter to explain the misquote to Emily<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jenkins immediately Tweeted Katie Piper, who hosted the show, who put the singer in touch with Miss Savage.<\/p>\n

Writing to Miss Savage on Twitter, she said: ‘Dear Emily, I was watching Katie: My Beautiful Friends and was distraught to hear you quote me…<\/p>\n

‘It’s really important to me that you know I would never say that. That came from an interview I gave with a foreign journalist.<\/p>\n

‘He clearly misunderstood and misquoted me. I would never call myself Beautiful. I hope you believe me. Wishing you all the best x.’<\/p>\n

Accepting Miss Jenkins’ explanation, Savage apologised: ‘Hi, I’m really sorry if it was a misquote. I know these things do happen.<\/p>\n

‘It wasn’t meant be an attack on you personally but illustrate how people complain about silly things.<\/p>\n

‘I’m really sorry if it caused you embarrassment or distress, that was really not my intention. Good luck wit everything and congrats on the engagement.’<\/p>\n

In a further effort to smooth things over, Jenkins offered free tickets to Miss Savage and her family at her forthcoming Dublin gig.<\/p>\n

She added: ‘Thank you Emily, I understand. As long as you know that’s not who I am.<\/p>\n

‘I’m in Dublin in concert in May… Would you and your family like to come as my guests? I’m following you now so you can DM me if you’d like to come. No pressure tho! x’<\/p>\n
