Russel Brands sexy santa surprise
Marija Andric
Katy Perry got temperatures rising in the VIP Austrian ski resort of Ischgl by performing a live concert in front of 20,000 fans in a sexy Santa look.
Dressed in what she described as her 'slutty sexy Santa outfit' - she followed in the footsteps of Kylie Minogue, Leona Lewis, Lionel Richie, The Pussycat Dolls and Ronan Keating to perform at the Ischgl resorts season opening concert.
And part of the deal was a set of private lessons for Katy - a keen snowboarder - and her boyfriend Russell Brand who was in the crowd when she performed over the weekend.
Katy rocked the mountains as she belted out her hits such as 'I kissed a girl', 'Hot and Cold' and 'Ur so gay' and obviously regretted the Santa costume - as she repeatedly shouted between songs "It's f***ing cold".
She later admitted: "I hadn't realised they would have canons blasting snow onto the stage during the performance."
The crowds were thrilled by her performance, branding it one of the best in recent years. The exclusive one off concert also gave an insight into some of the tracks from her new album.
Brand was however keeping a low profile as well as her family, who are all staying in the resort until Wednesday and are planning on hitting Ischgl's slopes until then.
Upon arriving in Ishgl she posted on Twitter "omg, there's no starbucks or gay club here in the mountains... breathe breathe"
But Katy soon recovered and was full of praise for the picture postcard Austrian resort once she had the chance to try the snowboarding opportunities.
She tweeted "Yodeling trio in the ALPZ! WHUT WHUT! Ischgl has been so fun so far. Tomorrow we hit the slopes!"
Despite frequent reports of poor snow conditions across the Alps of late, Ischgl was able to open as planned, offering good skiing conditions.
Heavy snowfalls are predicted in Austria this week, especially in the west where Ischgl is located.
