Hotel thief Katy Perry

Katy Perry has joked she's a compulsive thief when it comes to stealing things from the many hotels she stays in.

Katy Perry likes to steal from hotels.

The 'California Gurls' hitmaker - who is engaged to British comedian Russell Brand - has admitted can't resist taking pillows from the places she stays all over the world, and once went on a stealing spree in Japan.

She explained: "I do steal pillows from every single place I stay. It's like 'Princess and the Pea' and I'm just laying on a bunch of pillows in a big room.

"When I was 17, I went to a really fancy hotel in Japan and stole everything. I was saying to the chambermaid, 'More lotions please, more fancy chocolates please/' "

The brunette beauty has been travelling across the globe to promote her second studio album 'Teenage Dream' and revealed life on the road makes her feel as if she's "growing another head".

She added to BBC Radio One: "In the past four weeks alone I've been to Los Angeles, Malaysia, Singapore, London, Paris . I'm thankful to even be alive today. I feel like I'm growing another head somewhere - my body is definitely reacting to all the travelling. I've been zig-zagging all over the world.

"My family are always asking me for my air miles, at least I never run out!"
