Lady GaGa 'used to be a stripper'

Lady GaGa has revealed that she worked as a stripper when she was a teenager.

The singer told Fabulous that she turned to stripping despite coming from a wealthy Italian family and going to a private school.

Lady GaGa said: "I have a strong sense of my own sexuality. I love the naked human body and I have huge body confidence.

"I was working in strip clubs when I was 18. I moved out of home, wouldn't take any help from my parents and supported myself with waitressing jobs and stripping.

"My act was pretty wild. I’d wear black leather and dance to Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses and Faith No More. Very rock 'n' roll."
