I am trying to add a blurred version of the video to the top and bottom to get rid of the blur and I cannot work out how to do it at all, any help would be amazing!

Another option would be to put another instance of the clip on a lower video layer and increase its scale until it is blurry and fills the screen.

Draw two rectangular (top and bottom) and assign them to the blur effect.

If you do not know how to use the new mask feature, please read the doc in the link.

Use object masking in Premiere Pro
