Katy PerryKaty Perry has revealed that contrary to her party-girl of pop image, she’s happiest antique hunting.

She is quoted as saying recently: “Any girl knows there is no better feeling than getting a great bargain. I love it! It’s the thrill, the chase and the chance to get something great.

“So many people have no idea what it is they are just giving away.

“I’ll put the hair under a cap and put on a pair of sunglasses and rarely get noticed when I am on the searches.

“I am like a pirate or a scavenger ready to swoop when I see something worthwhile.

“When I was a kid my dad would wake me up every Saturday morning and we’d go out looking for stuff. Plus my mum was an antiques dealer in London, so I guess some of it trickled down to me.”

Katy’s song ‘I kissed a girl’ was one of the anthems of the summer and the singer hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool last week.
