Katy Perry reveals her strange pregnancy cravings – and names the one ‘holy grail’ sauce she now carries in her purse everywhere

Katy Perry has developed some rather unusual cravings since falling pregnant with her fiancé, Orlando Bloom.

The 35-year-old pop star told Smallzy’s Surgery on Monday that she has become obsessed with spice and even carries a bottle of Tabasco sauce wherever she goes.

Katy described her cravings as ‘weird’, adding: ‘I’m not a fan of spicy foods, and all of a sudden all I want to eat is spice!’

The Roar singer explained that a friend had given her a limited edition bottle of Tabasco before she became pregnant last year. 

‘After getting pregnant, I literally pulled out this bedazzled Tabasco bottle [and said], “You are my holy grail, I will bring you everywhere!”‘ she said.  

‘I’ve never been a fan of spice, but spice up your life!’

Elsewhere in the interview, Katy explained why she decided to announce her baby news in the music video for her single Never Worn White.

‘I was like, “Well I either do this now or it comes out a crazy [way],”‘ she said.

During a Q&A with fans, Katy admitted she had been ‘eating the same burrito for weeks on end’ and was obsessed with dried mango. 

She also spoke of her fixation with hot sauce, saying: ‘I like, literally, never cared for spice, and now I have to carry Tabasco sauce in my purse like that woman… some people have essential oils, and I have Tabasco sauce!’

Katy went on to reveal that beef ‘grosses her out’ and she has resorted to eating plant-based Impossible Burgers instead.
