Tina Kandelaki, 43, claims that the boozed-up I Kissed A Girl hitmaker made unwanted sexual advances towards her at a private party.

And after summoning up all her strength to push back the 34-year-old singer, the Georgian-born journalist alleges that Perry moved on to a new 'victim'.

On social media, Ms Kandelaki wrote: 'Once I was invited to a private party with Katy Perry, where she was pretty drunk, and she apparently fancied me as she was trying it on pretty strongly. 

'I managed to fight back and am pleased to say that all my fitness training was not in vain, but then Katie instantly found herself a new victim (to my shock again female) for kisses, embracing and dirty dances.'

The TV presenter added that she did not view herself as a victim at the time but memories of Perry's allleged harassment continued to haunt her.

Kandelaki - who did not disclose the date the alleged sketchiness took place - believes there are others who have been subjected to unrequited advances  from the American singer.

Her statement comes after Perry - whose real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson - was accused of sexual misconduct by Joss Kloss, who starred in the music video for her 2010 single Teenage Dream.

Kloss claimed that she exposed his genitals to a crowd at a birthday party.

Perry's represenatives did not immediately respond to MailOnline's request for comment.
