She said: 'I am a really big fan of yours. You are so fabulously dressed. I am honored to be sitting next to you.'

Gaga has spoken in the past of how she turned to cocaine in her late teens as she battled depression, but exposed the true extent of her mental struggle on the Channel 4 show.
Wearing a huge feathered headdress the superstar replied openly about the trauma behind her extraordinary ensembles.
She said: 'It’s how I deal with my insanity. From when I was young I had voices in my head, and for the longest time I was drinking and doing a lot of drugs, and it was the clothing and the artistry that saved me. I get sheer joy out of creativity, it’s like a psychedelic experience for me.'

Gaga was born Stefani Germanotta to wealthy religious parents and raised in Manhattan where she attended a Catholic all-girls school.
She said of her upbringing: 'I was very respectful of my parents but I was like a grenade that pulls out its own pin. I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I wanted to go out and play music and when I couldn’t make music I went nuts and it made my parents nuts.']
Speaking on this Friday’s episode of The Graham Norton Show about her mother’s shock reaction to her nose piercing, she added: 'Isn’t that ridiculous, of all the things I did? I was like, ‘Mom, really? I’m naked in every magazine’.'
