Katy Perry was Pranked by BBC Radio DJ Scott Mills

The Radio DJ Scott Mills tried to prank Perry in 2011 and it almost backfired on him. He thought that it would be really funny to have her in the same room with her then-husband and comedian Russell Brand‘s look-alike. So they sent a doppelganger of his in the same room with Perry and he even sounded like Brand. Scott Mills said, “Katy Perry absolutely freaked out and ran.”

It was later revealed that the timing of the prank wasn’t good as the ex-couple was having marital problems at the time. The DJ added, “I remember hearing her saying, ‘I’m not going back out there,’ multiple times.” The pop sensation jokingly later added, “You need to play my records for the rest of your life on the radio to make up for it.”
