Katy Perry has just dropped her fantastic new song 'Never Really Over', so we thought we'd catch up with her on Hits Radio Breakfast to talk about the song, and her relationship with fiancé Orlando Bloom. She then surprised Gemma Atkinson by telling her that she thought her baby would be "born a supermodel".

Speaking to Gethin, Gemma and Dave on Hits Radio this week, Katy Perry said if the baby doesn't come out with a "full blown modelling contract" there's something wrong. Gushing over Gemma and her boyfriend Gorka Márquez, she said, "Wow". And after receiving these compliments, Gemma couldn't believe it, telling listeners, "Katy Perry's just wished me congrats, THANK YOU!" Listen to the interview below...

Gemma is expecting her first child in just a couple months, with her boyfriend Gorka Márquez, and often shares updates with her fans online. In the most recent video shared by Gem, Gorka and their unborn baby can be seen 'dancing' together!

Gemma's post attracted a lot of attention, from both celebrities and fans alike. Boyfriend Gorka commented, '😂😂😂♥️', whilst Katie Piper and Karen Clifton also commented with laughing emojis. Strictly Come Dancing winner Ore Oduba then posted, 'So into this!! Totally. 😍😂😂'.

During the interview, Katy also told Hits Breakfast that the reaction to her new song was "overwhelming", explaining she hasn't had this reaction immediately after releasing a song. She admitted she's actually had this song "In her pocket" since August last year and she remembers the chills on her arm she got when she listened to it thinking, "There's something here!"

The upbeat song features Katy exploring the nature of relationships, with the premise that everyone has history that never goes away, so Katy was then asked if she gets jealous of her fiancé Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom. Katy said firmly "No", explaining the couple are very open with their communication, admitting it doesn't always come naturally, but they've "Done the work to become completely honest".
