Lady GaGa: 'Dad didn't get my act'

Lady GaGa has confessed that her father was initially unimpressed by her raunchy stage routines.

The popstar, whose single 'Just Dance' hit number one in the UK chart yesterday, revealed that her dad could not bring himself to talk to her after attending some of her burlesque-style performances.

"My father came to see shows when I was in leather thongs and didn't understand. He couldn't look at me for a few months. But when [he] saw me getting better, [he] saw that my ideas were getting stronger. Now my father cries," she said.

Lady GaGa, whose stage shows have been toned down recently, added that she is interested in returning to more shocking antics in the future.

She said: "Those days will be back soon, don't worry! I really miss it sometimes."
