[uuid=219087cf-9a8c-4a09-a015-80cd6321d19e]Katy Perry[/uuid] has been told by her insurers to stop wearing one of her trademark stage costumes.

According to The Sun, they are worried the Firework singer will catch her hair in her so-called 'peppermint dress' and injure herself.

K-Pez is quoted by the newspaper as saying: "I keep being told the insurers are worried I will injure my neck.

"I seriously doubt it could be lethal, but they want a new bra designed that will not allow hair to be caught up."

Katy has admitted that her wigs have got caught up in the bra in past, explaining: "My hair got caught in the wheels of my spinning peppermint bra and began to coil around and around.

"I'm forced to just go with it so, by the end of the song, it looked quite like I was licking my own tit. What a girl does for her art."

An unnamed source added: "It may seem trivial but a simple pulled muscle can stop a performer like Katy from going on. Insurers don't care about the art of the fun - just the dangers."

Katy wears the infamous peppermint dress in her new 3D movie, Part Of Me, but thankfully in an accident free performance.
