Selena Gomez has admitted she used to have a bizarre crush on Barney, the purple dinosaur, on Allan Carr's Chatty man.

 

The singer, who is in the UK to promote her latest single, was working on the Barney show when she was a child.

 

She said: "Do you know what was really awkward? The guy in the suit was kind of attractive.

 

"At that time you are young, you’re seven and you are like ‘What are these things that I’m feeling, he is so attractive’."

 

But she adds of the experience: "It was great. I enjoyed it. It’s what sparked me on to doing all of this."

 

Selena, who performed her latest single Good For You on the show, also talked about a recent incident in a Miami airport.

 

She said: "I was in Miami and there were just a bunch of people yelling vile things at me.

 

"When it comes to a lot of attention, like at the airport, it can get sort of embarrassing because I just want to go through.

 

"They were just being mean and I’m such a people pleaser so it hurts my feelings and I just want to explain my situation. It was fine though I got over it."
