From pop star to pooped star, Katy Perry, who is nearing her due date, has admitted that she's exhausted, sharing a photo of herself in a baby shop, relaxing on a chair, wearing a baseball cap and mask, as she puts her feet up.

The singer, who has just released her song 'Smile' and is about to drop her new album of the same name, has continued to work despite nearing the due date of her first child with boyfriend Orlando Bloom.

Despite looking exhausted, Katy still looks fab and her fans have rallied around her with supportive comments. One fan said, 'You will reach that goal you have been working towards. Keep going. :)', with another saying, 'Sleep, sleep, sleep my dear your life is about to change completely, those sleepless nights are going to be memorable for the rest of your life and then you're going to have a big reason to SMILE because your heart is about to get full of unconditional love and joy....God bless you and yours🙏😘.....😊'.

Katy announced her pregnancy back in March with the music video for her song, 'Never Worn White'. In the video, the pop star can be seen wearing a number of spectacular outfits, including a stunning white gown, where she cradles her adorable little baby bump.
