Katy Perry ditches the latex and lollipops for a soulful acoustic performance of her new ballad on the X Factor

Acoustic: Katy Perry transformed her usual stage presence for a soulful performance of her new single The One That Got Away on the X Factor

Her fans are accustomed to her prancing around in colourful latex costumes on a stage filled with oversized cartoon-like fruit and sweets.

But Katy Perry ditched the extravagant staging for her surprisingly paired down performance on the X Factor tonight.

Katy played her guitar and sang with two back-up singers for her new single, ballad The One That Got Away.


Something missing? Twitter users were quick to point out that the singer was without her wedding ring, but it was back in place later when the singer exited the building

The 26-year-old had her hair, back to pink, curled into a Forties style 'do and wore an unusually simple outfit of white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers.

But eagle-eyed fans on Twitter were quick to note that she was not wearing her wedding ring.

But the ring was back in place shortly afterwards, when Katy signed autographs for fans after the show.



Soulful: The ballad was a departure from her usual upbeat pop tracks

The song is a departure from Perry's uptempo pop tracks, and saw the singer show off her raw talent as she harmonised with her band.

Katy was pictured filming the music video for The One That Got Away earlier in the month, made up to look like an old woman.

Katy has been performing her new single as a mash-up with Adele's hit song Someone Like You at a number of her UK concerts.

Boy band: The Wanted performed their new single Lightning

Perry told X Factor host Dermot O'Leary after her performance that last night she completed the 95th show on her California Dreams tour at London's O2 Arena.

Next up, the Teenage Dream hitmaker is on to Liverpool. Judge Gary Barlow offered some advice on nightlife in the north, telling Katy to visit nightclub Grafton - which is actually shut down.

Also performing tonight was The Wanted, who sang their new single Lightning.

Sexy in spots: Roxanne Pallett celebrated being cast in Waterloo Road with a sunshine break in Lanzarote

It was recently announced she is set to join the cast of hit BBC1 show Waterloo Road.
So what better way for Roxanne Pallett to celebrate her new role than to head off on a sunshine break in Lanzarote before she gets stuck in to filming the school-based drama.

The 28-year-old actress, most famous for playing Jo Sugden in Emmerdale, was spotted showing off her curves in a red and white spotty two-piece as she basked in the sunshine during her holiday.

And after getting a bit too hot following an afternoon of relaxing in the balmy weather, Roxanne coolled off with a quick shower by the pool.

Despite looking fantastic in her pretty polkadot bikini, Roxanne said recently she's not a fan of diet, and could never reduce her food intake because she loves eating too much.

She said: 'I'm really normal about food. In this industry I've seen girls have a real issue about eating. But I came from a home where no one spoke about weight or dieting and it was a triumph if you got seconds.

'Thankfully, I love food and enjoy everything about it!'


Having fun: Roxanne appeared to be enjoying herself as she soaked in the sunshine by her hotel pool

Former Dancing On Ice contestant Roxanne also credits regular exercise for helping her stay in shape.

She said: 'Getting active made such a difference to my weight and shape. I jog three times a week but only for 20 minutes. I do it in the mornings because it clears my head and sets me up for the day.

'I enjoy going on power walks with my mum, Monica and I do my tummy exercises every day, to keep my stomach toned.'


Cooling off: After an afternoon of sunbathing, Roxanne cooled off with a quick shower before heading inside

This week Beyonce has been showing off her pregnancy bump after considerable speculation that she had worn a fake one.


Dance class: The video takes place in a dance studio with an amazing view

Rumours surfaced after it seemed that her bump became squished when she appeared on Australian TV.

Her representatives quickly dismissed the reports as 'stupid, ridiculous and false'.

However Beyonce proved her point during a rainy day in New York, stepping out in the Big Apple wearing a flowing snakeskin blouse which she teamed with black jeans, hat and vertiginous buckled boot heels.
