Russell Grant dresses as Lady GaGa: 'I'll eat meat, but not wear it'

Russell Grant has dressed up as Lady GaGa for a magazine shoot, following his exit from Strictly Come Dancing.

The astrologer exited the BBC dancing competition on Sunday night, after losing out to Holly Valance.

Posing as Lady GaGa in this week's Heat magazine, Grant quips: "Thank God we're not recreating GaGa's meat dress. I'll eat it, but not wear it. I don't do meat, darling, only glam."



Offering his thoughts on the 'Marry The Night' star, he added: "GaGa is amazing. The only trouble is, sometimes I think she tries too hard. She's got to keep outdoing herself, so goes a bit, well, gaga. I'll do Glam GaGa, but that's it."

Speaking about his success on Strictly Come Dancing, Grant said that it had been "unbelievable" to have the public support.

"Flavia [Cacace] and I went shopping together the other day. We turned around and there were about 50 kids following us. I felt like the Pied Piper," he said.

"I'm so humbled by it. When I was first famous in the '80s as the astrologer on BBC Breakfast Time, there wasn't Twitter or Facebook - or even e-mail. This time it's mega. I've gone from 500 Twitter followers to 24,000 since the show began."

Grant also admitted that he has turned down I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! every year, explaining: "It's impossible to be glamorous in a jungle."

The full interview appears in the new issue of Heat magazine, out now.
