Katy Perry and her fiancé Orlando Bloom recently spent three months in Australia while he filmed footage for his new film Wizards! in north Queensland. 

After some nerve-wracking encounters, the pop star, 38, told Lisa Wilkinson on Thursday’s episode of The Project why she thinks Australia is so ‘dangerous’.

Appearing alongside American country music singer Thomas Rhett, who she is currently touring with, the songwriter said she and her actor partner had their fair share of run-ins with Aussie creepy crawlies.

‘I was in this place called Cairns or by Port Douglas. The first night I was there, there was a hairy spider that was like this big [she made a large circle with her fingers] that was on my bedstand,’ she said. 

The I Kissed A Girl singer then explained she had to use her hoody to dispose of the arachnid, but it wasn’t the only encounter she had up north. 

‘Oh, it was wild. There was a black snake at one point. There is a whole list of just – this like mini octopus that can kill you in one little bite,’ she said.

‘Like do not think about swimming in any of those beaches there are crocs. It’s crazy. Australia is dangerous.’

Host Lisa, 62, joked: ‘But it’s fabulous. And what do they say Katy? What doesn’t kill you…’

‘Makes you stronger. Or you lose a limb,’ Katy finished.
