Katy Perry finding it hard to stay vegetarian

London: Pop star Katy Perry is finding it hard to stick to her pledge to stay vegetarian and has been secretly eating chicken and meat, a friend has claimed.

The 26-year-old singer gave up eating meat two years ago to keep her vegetarian husband Russell Brand happy but is now finding it difficult to stay away from non-veg delicacies, reported a newspaper.

"Russell has been a veggie for 22 years, but Katy adores meat. She did give it up for a while for Russell's sake but is finding it a struggle," said a friend of Perry.

The 26-year-old singer gave up eating meat two years ago to keep her vegetarian husband happy.

Brand, however, is sticking to his diet after winning the PETA title of the sexiest vegetarian in June.

"Even as a junkie I stayed true to vegetarianism. I shall have heroin, but I shan't have a hamburger. What a sexy little paradox," he said.
