Katy Perry once screamed and ran out of a studio after she saw a lookalike of Russell Brand. The 37-year-old singer was married to comedian Russell, 47, for a year from 2010 to 2011, and BBC Radio DJ Scott Mills revealed he thought it would be funny to surprise Katy with a lookalike of her then-husband during an interview but he didn't know they were having marriage problems.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: "I thought it would be funny to hire a Russell lookalike. I found a bloke who, when he turned up, really looked like Russell and could do the voice.

So we sent fake Russell into the studio — and Katy absolutely freaked out and ran. "We didn’t know they were having relationship troubles so it was a bit misjudged.

But I remember hearing her saying, ‘I’m not going back out there’, multiple times. "I pleaded with her to come back. She’s wicked and did, but she said, ‘You need to play my records for the rest of your life on the radio to make up for it’.
