Katy Perry's Antique Ambition

1 month ago 16th Nov 09:59

Katy Perry has an alternative line of work in mind if her singing career dries up - she dreams of fronting an antiques show.

The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker's mother was an antiques dealer and Perry grew up fascinated by old artifacts.

And despite shooting to international stardom, the singer still loves foraging in second-hand shops.

She says, "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.

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.

"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."

And Perry would consider a career change if the opportunity arose: "I wish they had asked me to host (U.K television show) Antiques Roadshow when Michael Aspel left. It would be my dream job."
