Lady Gaga has admitted that she was left bankrupt after spending millions on her hugely successful Monster's Ball tour.

The 25-year-old star said she had no idea that she was £1.82million in debt after the shows, which ran for 18 months.

In an interview with Stephen Fry in the Financial Times, the singer said:

"I put everything in the show, and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the Monster Ball. And it was funny because I didn't know!

"And I remember I called everybody and said, 'Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous, I have five No. 1 singles' and they said, 'Well, you're $3m in debt.'

"It's honestly true that money means nothing to me.

"The only big things I've purchased are my dad's heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary."

Gaga has recently been promoting her new album Born This Way, which has stormed the UK charts, selling more than the rest of the Top 10 put together.

According to the Official Charts Company, the record sold more than 215,000 copies in its first week of release.
