Ellen, who celebrates her 55th birthday on January 26, told the audience: 'I just found out that a friend of mine has always dreamed of being a game show host and I’m not going to let that go by without helping make that happen.

'Ladies and gentleman please welcome, Katy Perry!'

The Part of Me singer, famous for her girly on-stage costumes, emerged in a retro plaid suit, big tie, mustache and wig.

She then called two audience members down to join her on stage, saying: 'Don't worry, ladies. You won't be winning a kitchenette set.'

Ellen will head Down Under later this year as part of a promotional deal with Swisse and Qantas.
