Katy Perry: 'I'm afraid of the dark'

Katy Perry has admitted that she is afraid of the dark.

The 'Teenage Dream' singer also revealed that she sleeps with the lights on unless she is with her fiancé Russell Brand.

She told Radio Times: "I think a lot of evil things go on in the dark. I still have to cover my toes because I'm like that kid who thinks there's a witch under my bed who's going to eat my tootsies off."

She added: "I sleep with lights on unless I'm with Russell."

Perry has previously spoken of her fear of sleeping in cars, stemming from a childhood road accident.
