KATY Perry has opened up about her depression battle as she praised Orlando Bloom for ‘pulling the poison’ out of her.
The 35-year-old singer admitted to having a particularly difficult time between 2017 and 2018, where she even struggled to get out of bed in the morning.
Speaking to Vogue India, Katy heaped praise on her Hollywood actor fiance for helping her through the dark times.
She said: “In the past, I had been able to overcome it, but this time something happened that made me fall down too many flights of stairs. I had to really go on a mental health journey.
“Orlando is like a sage
“When we first met, he said we would pull the poison out of each other, and we really do. It’s exhausting, but we really hold each other accountable.”
Katy continued: “I’ve never had a partner who was willing to go on an emotional and spiritual journey like Orlando.
“It’s challenging, because you’re facing all the things you don’t like about yourself. It’s like a never-ending cleanse.”
The US popstar first started dating the British hunk in 2017, but they split a year later.

By April 2018, the pair had reconciled – with Orlando proposing the following Valentine’s Day.
The two are expected to tie the knot later this year, having postponed their wedding from December due to location issues.
Katy was previously married to British comic Russell Brand, with the pair divorcing in 2011 after one year together.
Meanwhile, Orlando was once married to model Miranda Kerr, who he was with between 2010 and 2013 and shares an eight-year-old son with.
