Katy Perry horses around at fairground

The singer gripped onto the gold metal as she rode a merry-go-round horse on a new shoot for Adidas in sunny Los Angeles.

Decked out in bright purple clothes and red pumps, the former Mrs Russell Brand was promoting the sportswear brand's new Climacool Seduction range.

The trainers are designed to keep feet cool with ventilation in the soles as well as the upper.

In addition to the carousel ride, Katy is also seen posing on a cycle path surrounded by palm trees.

Football hero David Beckham also features in the campaign for Adidas and was recently seen taking part in the photoshoot in London.

Katy and Russell split earlier this year after just 14 months of marriage and their divorce will be finalised on July 14.

The singer currently has three book publishers competing for her story on Russ with offers already exceeding £2million.

Katy, 27, has recently revealed she will be starring in her own film this summer.

The part-biopic,part-concert film — released by movie giant Paramount — is called Katy Perry: Part Of Me and will be in 3D.
