Katy Perry's minister parents tell packed congregation her divorce was a gift from God to help them fill churches

By Alanah Eriksen


Happy families: Katy Perry's evangelical parents, Mary and Keith Hudson, pictured at a post-Grammy party in February, spoke about their daughter's divorce in an Ohio church


Katy Perry's religious parents have managed to see something positive in the breakdown of their daughter's one year marriage.

The pair spoke about their daughter's divorce for the first time - from the pulpit of their evangelical church which was unusually packed it seems.

And the ministers suggested her split with Russell Brand was a gift sent by God - to help them fill churches.

The service was held yesterday, as removal containers were seen in the grounds of the celebrity couple's $6.5 million Hollywood Hills mansion, ready to cart away their belongings.


Mary, 63, preached to the Church on the Rise congregation in Westlake, Ohio: 'I'm sure that Katy's trending on the Internet was to get you here to church tonight.

'I mean all over the world, who knows how God is bringing them in? The most important thing is you are here and God wants to put the fire in you in 2012.'

She and husband Keith, 63, billed themselves as 'Katy Perry's parents in marketing materials for the event, reported CNN.

Moving out: Removal containers were spotted outside Katy and Russell's $6.5 million Hollywood Hills mansion, ready to divide the couple's belongings

They spoke for about 90 minutes to 300 worshippers in the first service since Katy's split with the comedian on Friday.

A video was shown before the Hudsons took the stage in Ohio showed them at award shows with Katy.

Keith told the crowd he converted from a drug user to a Christian when he was 24 years old.

He added that his daughter's success had helped the couple share their beliefs with Hollywood superstars.

"What has taken place in my daughter's life has opened many opportunities to go in and be with guarded and gated people.

'God has given us a platform to go in and meet people — and they like us because we are cool. We are not threatening.'

Different worlds: Russell was not brought up religious by his mother Barbara, while Katy listened to gospel music and was banned from watching TV


Katy was brought up as a devout Christian in Santa Barbara, California. She listened only to gospel music and was banned from watching TV.

Keith also choked back tears when talking about his daughter's different lifestyle, reported The Sun.

'I love my daughter and I will always love her. Stop being judgmental and critical. Do not close the doors to your loved ones, especially your children.

'Just because they do not like what you do or what you are, they are still praying that you stay in the race. They are counting on you.

'I believe in God, for every one of my children.'

The service comes as it was claimed the 14-month marriage ended because Russell continuously mocked his in-laws' beliefs at family events.

Moving on: Russell was spotted leaving his manager's home in Primrose Hill, London, yesterday as removal containers were seen at his and Katy's LA mansion


Friends said the singer had asked Russell to file the court papers last month to avoid upsetting her parents, who are strongly opposed to divorce.

The comments were revealed by biographer Chloe Govan, author of Katy Perry: A Life of Fireworks.

A friend said: 'Russ was forever making lewd jokes at the dinner table and poking fun at her parents' beliefs.

'He managed to restrain himself in the beginning — just. But as the marriage progressed, he got worse and kept winding up her family.'

Another added: 'After the lust wore off, reality hit home about their differences and she was left thinking, 'What have I done?'

Other rumours say the split was because Katy couldn’t keep up with Russell’s appetite in the bedroom, and he disapproval of her party lifestyle.

Russell, 36, has reportedly been uninvited from the People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday to avoid a confrontation with Katy.

She is expected to make her fist appearance since the split at the show where she is nominated for seven awards, including Favourite Female Artist.

A source told the Daily Mirror: 'It will be Katy’s big night, a prelude to the Grammys, and now Russell has been strangely left off the list of attendees for the high-profile event.

'It was always going to be awkward for organisers in any case after their shock decision to split. But in order to avoid any awkwardness or confrontation Russ is no longer on the list.'

She is said to be holed up in the LA home she shared with Russell, which they purchased in June.

The comedian-turned-actor has been seen on a number of occasions since releasing a statement about the divorce, and was yesterday spotted leaving his manger's home in Primrose Hill, London.

The couple, who were married in India October 2010, spent Christmas thousands of miles apart, with Katy in Hawaii and Russell in Cornwall.

They were both pictured without their wedding rings.

He filed for divorce on January 30.

Meanwhile, a new song has been leaked in which Katy sings about shooting bad lovers. Recorded before the split, Bullet, tells how her dad will gun down men who break her heart.

She sings: 'My mama warned me about boys like you,

'It’s the reason I wear these high-heeled boots.

'And let me give you a little piece of advice.

'My papa packs heat and he won’t think twice.'

Katy wrote it for US country singer Jessie James, 23, but it is her voice on the leaked version.

Russell Brand emerges without his wedding ring after 'massive fight' ruins his Christmas with Katy Perry

By Daily Mail Reporter


Sign of trouble? Russell Brand stepped out for a shopping trip in London today without his wedding ring on


Russell Brand stepped out without his wedding ring today amid rumours of marriage trouble.

The comedian, 36, was spotted on a solo shopping trip in London after spending Christmas 7,000 miles apart from his wife Katy Perry.

He happily soaked up the love from fans during his outing and even posed up for a photograph with a delighted blonde shopper.


But the Arthur star's sparkling diamond band, which matches the singer's wedding bling, was noticeably absent from his left hand.

Katy was not wearing her ring either while holidaying in Hawaii over the festive season.

The couple decided to spend Christmas apart after huge argument, it has been claimed.

A source is quoted as telling Us Weekly magazine: 'They had a massive fight. She was like, "F*** you. I'm going to do my own thing."

Meanwhile the source said that Russell replied: 'Fine, f*** you too.'
The source added: 'They haven't split up just yet, but things are not good. The fighting is getting worse.'

Katy, 27, was seen lapping up the fine weather in Hawaii on December 25 with a group of friends while comedian Brand was seen in a pub in Cornwall, England.

The couple were said to have planned Christmas together with reports Katy was going to jet her family in a private plane over to the UK to celebrate together.

In November, Brand's mother Barbara had tweeted she was looking forward to spending the festive season with her son and daughter-in-law.

She wrote on Twitter: 'Spoke to Russell and Katy, they are so happy, it's lovely. We will all be together for Christmas.'

A spokesperson for the couple has not yet commented and neither Katy nor Russell have alluded to their relationship on Twitter.

The couple, who married in October last year after a whirlwind romance, have gone out of their way lately to quash speculation that their marriage is on shaky ground.

She has previously used Twitter to dismiss marriage rumours. She tweeted: ‘Just cause we don’t flaunt our relationship doesn’t mean there’s something wrong w/it. Privacy is our luxury. ’

See, we are happy! Russell Brand and Katy Perry can't keep their eyes off each other (as they continue to defy divorce rumours)

By Daily Mail Reporter


The look of love: Russell Brand and Katy Perry couldn't keep their eyes off each other as they stepped out on the red-carpet for a charity event at the LACMA in Los Angeles this evening


Earlier this week Russell Brand insisted that he was 'happily married' to his wife Katy Perry after the couple were consistently being plagued with divorce rumours.

And the pair were intent on showing just how in love they really are as they stepped out on the red-carpet this evening.

The 36-year-old comedian and his 27-year-old pop star wife couldn't keep their eyes off each other as they attended the 3rd Annual Change Begins Within Benefit presented by The David Lynch Foundation at the LACMA in Los Angeles.


Gazing at one another, the two appeared smitten.

Cheek-to-cheek, the couple, who have been married for just one year, beamed as they posed happily for pictures.
Katy also took the opportunity to show off her more golden hairdo.

Her pink hair colour appears to have faded and she was flaunting a more brighter blonde shade.

Striking pair: Katy and Russell cuddled up close as they posed for pictures


The Teenage Dream star was glowing as she slipped her stunning curves into cream leather shift dress adorned with gold studs.

She paired the look with some gold stilettos and wore a matching gilded shadow on her lids.

Russell wore his usual attire, showing off his chest with an open-neck white shirt, a pair of black trouser and a vest.


Locking eyes: Russell looked smitten with his wife of one year

Glances: Katy and Russell just couldn't stop staring at each other


He also wore what appeared to be an Indian-style sash around his waist, perhaps a nod to the couple's favourite destination, India, where they got married in October of last year.

The couple have been a constant target of divorce rumours, after speculation that their marriage was struggling, largely because they were spending large amounts of time apart on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

But this week the British comedian denied there was trouble in paradise on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.


Cute: Cheek-to-cheek, the couple looked the epitome of marital bliss

No problems here: The couple's loved-up demeanor was in the face of rumours they were splitting after one year of marriage


Russell appeared on the programme, saying he was 'happily married' and 'until death do we part'.

After Russell gave Ellen a bunch of flowers in recognition of seven years since she met her wife Portia de Rossi, the pair got talking about Russell's own marriage.

Asked whether a break-up was on the cards Russell joked: 'What? She should’ve of told me. Yeah, there are always rumors aren’t there.

Special guests: The pair were special guests of famed director David Lynch, who was hosting the 3rd Annual Change Begins Within Benefit


'In the end you have to just not engage with Internet technology, which is difficult because a lot of the nude women websites I quite enjoy! But they’ve had to go.'

He stressed: 'I’ve treated the whole Internet now like it’s a wicked little liar. I am really happily married.'

Russell appears to take the gossip with a pinch of salt, adding: 'Just keep me informed. Being famous is like a little bit of you is taken away and goes off and lives on it’s own and does what it wants.

Golden girl: Katy took the opportunity to show off her more golden bob


'I wish it would do more interesting things. I’m married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge.'

Russell continued on the positive theme, even suggesting that babies might soon become a possibility.

'I would like one. I love those little babies in the beginning. Me and Katy are godparents to two twin boys. They’re called Sam and Donovan.


No problems: Earlier this week Russell insisted to Ellen DeGeneres that he was 'happily married' to his wife Katy Perry after the couple were consistently being plagued with divorce rumours

Rubbishing rumours: Katy refuted speculations of a divorce on her Twitter page


'They are just a year old. At first they were boring. They were just essentially little fluid factories. Generating fluids. No regard for what I was wearing.'

'Now, they're interesting. They smile and look at me and wonder. I’m observing them like a scientist, so I can learn from them. Me and Katy are their godparents, which means we're responsible.'

Also this week, the offbeat pair showed their love in a characteristically original way, getting new tattoos in a fun joint inking session during the Los Angeles stop of Katy's tour.

They treated themselves after Katy performed to a sell-out crowd at LA's Staples Center last week.

The pair had a got creative backstage, proudly showing off their body art, inked by legendary tattoo artist 'Bang Bang'.

Whatever it takes? Amidst rumours of a marriage in trouble, Katy Perry and Russell Brand treated themselves to tattoos backstage after the singer's Staples Center concert


Russell got a badge of his favourite football club, West Ham United, while Katy went for a 'smiling peppermint' on her foot (complimenting a previous strawberry tattoo on her other foot).

They noticeably avoided any romantic theme to their choices however, not opting for any Beckham-style referenced to each other in the new additions.

Showing she's a dab hand with the laser pen, Katy proceeded to tattoo the peppermint onto 'Bang Bang', who traveled with Katy for a week and inked the symbol onto around 50 members of her entourage.

Job well done? Russell Brand had the West Ham football team badge inked by legendary tattoo artist 'Bang Bang'


Katy has dismissed the latest speculation of a split from Russell, insisting reports that suggested she has filed for divorce are not true.

Katy and Russell have been hit by speculation their marriage is in trouble ever since they headed down the aisle in India last October.

It was rumoured yesterday that Katy had filed divorce papers in Los Angeles, but The One That Got Away hitmaker took to her Twitter page to deny the story.

Lighthearted theme: Katy went for a 'smiling peppermint' on her right foot, complimenting a previous strawberry tattoo on her other foot


Katy even jokingly compared herself to All My Children character Erica Kane, who has been married and divorced numerous times in the US TV soap.

She wrote: 'First I'm pregnant & then I'm divorced. What am I All My Children?! Erica Kane... pshhh. If I had a dollar for every time.'

Soon after her tweet, Katy headed to the Grammy Nominations concert in Los Angeles without her husband.

Where's the rest of your dress? Katy Perry stands out from the crowd in barely-there tassel outfit and bright pink hair

By SARAH BULL

Where's the rest of your dress? Katy Perry stepped out in Los Angeles wearing an attention-grabbing tassel dress

Many celebrities in Los Angeles complain that they can't get any privacy from photographers.

But, as Katy Perry stepped out in Hollywood yesterday, she certainly appeared to be attempting to draw attention to herself.

The 26-year-old singer teamed her newly-dyed bright pink hair with a barely-there tassel dress, which showed off her slim figure.


Letting off some steam: Katy visited the Six Flags Great America theme park earlier this week and certainly appeared to be enjoying the Vertical Velocity ride


However, despite her attention-grabbing outfit, Katy seemed less than happy as she spotted paparazzi, hiding her face behind her purse as she picked up some crisps from a petrol station.

Katy teamed her dress, which was incredibly short, with a pair of blue sunglasses, flip-flops and coloured bangles.

It's been a busy few weeks for Katy, who has been travelling around America with her California Dreams tour.


Hanging around: Katy went to the park with some dancers and supporting artist Natalia Kills (second from left)


Katy, who is a natural blonde, has spent years maintaining her hair as a dark brunette, even dyeing her eyebrows and eyelashes to match.

But earlier this month she sported a strawberry blonde colour after deciding she wanted to change her dark hair to a lighter blonde shade.

However, Katy was told by hairdressers the process would have to be done in two stages, but the singer hasn't exactly been thrilled with her various looks.

She wrote last month: 'So I didn't get to the exact color (sic) I wanted from being black for so long! 2get to goal I have 2b GINGER for 3WKS.

'If I don't wait 3wks, I'll end up w/no hair or a #pixie90scutw/abarretteinthefront It's okay, I'll get to my secret color(s) soon! #patience.'



Screams all round: Katy certainly seemed to be enjoying herself on the rides

'I'm so grateful my husband Russell Brand is clean and sober,' says Katy Perry in wake of Amy Winehouse's death

By Daily Mail Reporter


Grateful: Katy Perry discussed her husband Russell Brand's sobriety during an interview on Good Morning American today


Pop star Katy Perry says Amy Winehouse's death has made her even more grateful for husband Russell Brand staying sober.

Brand, himself a recovering drug addict, took to Twitter over the weekend to laud his late friend as a 'f***ing genius' following her death in London on Saturday.

And Perry says the death puts into perspective Brand's efforts to stay clean and away from drugs.


'My heart felt really sad,' Perry said on Good Morning America about hearing of Winehouse's death.

'My husband, who has been clean and sober for almost nine years, you know, I see him working a program and working on himself every single day.

'And I see how much work it takes to be clean and sober when you have, you know, addiction on your hands.

'It gave me a real a gratefulness for my husband, who got clean when he was 27.

'I feel really sad and I just hope she finds peace.'

Brand paid a lengthy written tribute to Winehouse yesterday, saying addiction should be treated as a potentially fatal disease.

He met her on the Camden pub scene a number of years ago, and said at first he thought she was 'just some twit in a pink satin jacket shuffling round bars'.

He said when he spoke to her she was 'sweet and peculiar but most of all vulnerable'.

By chance Brand saw her perform with Paul Weller at the Roundhouse in Camden, north London, and had an epiphany.

In the piece posted on his website he wrote: 'Entering the space I saw Amy on stage with Weller and his band; and then the awe. The awe that envelops when witnessing a genius. From her oddly dainty presence that voice, a voice that seemed not to come from her but from somewhere beyond even Billie and Ella, from the font of all greatness.

'That twerp, all eyeliner and lager dithering up Chalk Farm Road under a back-combed barnet, the lips that I'd only seen clenching a fishwife fag and dribbling curses now a portal for this holy sound.'

Brand has given frank accounts of his battle to overcome drug addiction, and said loved ones will always fear getting a phone call with the worst news possible.

On duty: The star is currently in New York promoting her new film, The Smurfs


At the time he met Winehouse, he himself had not yet got clean, and he said: 'Winehouse and I shared an affliction, the disease of addiction.'

In the piece Brand accused the media of being more interested in 'tragedy than talent', and therefore said they focused more on her personal battles than her musical career.

He went on: 'Addiction is a serious disease; it will end with jail, mental institutions or death.

'Now Amy Winehouse is dead, like many others whose unnecessary deaths have been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today.

'We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease. Not all addicts have Amy's incredible talent. Or Kurt's (Cobain) or Jimi's (Hendrix) or Janis's (Joplin), some people just get the affliction. All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill.'

'We're not breaking up': Katy Perry and Russell Brand deny separation

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

We're fine: Katy Perry has slammed recent reports which claim that she and husband Russell Brand were considering a trial separation, here the couple are seen last month


Katy Perry and Russell Brand have endured countless break-up rumours since they tied the knot in October last year.

And whispers of a split have increased in recent months because the piar have spent more and more time apart due to their busy schedules.

But after a recent report claiming the couple were trying a trial separation, Katy has hit out, insisting that her marriage of just eight months is just fine.


Keeping busy: Russell seen leaving the gym with his trainer sipping on a drink from Earth Bar in West Hollywood today


The 26-year-old, who married the 36-year-old actor in a ceremony in India in October last year, said that just because the couple kept their relationship private, it didn't mean there was trouble in paradise.

Taking to her Twitter page to put the rumours to rest, she wrote: 'Just cause we don't flaunt our relationship doesn't mean there's something wrong w/it. Privacy is our luxury. #tabloidsrtrash #gossipisgross.'

Brand later supported his wife and wrote a message on his own Twitter page.


Denial: Katy took to her Twitter page to put break-up rumours to rest


He wrote, referring to the current phone hacking scandal surrounding former tabloid newspaper, News Of The World: 'You tell em Mrs Brand! In Britain we're currently dismantling the scum media so I'm not tuned in to their brain-farting.'

The couple's statements come as it was claimed earlier this month that the pair were considering a trial separation in a bid to keep their relationship on the right track.

A source told Heat magazine that Katy had confided: 'We're thinking of taking a break from our marriage. I'm worried it could be the end of the road for us.'

Who's your friend, Russell? Brand relaxes poolside with a Katy Perry lookalike as his wife recovers from food poisoning

By Daily Mail Reporter


Who's your friend? Russell Brand relaxes poolside with a Katy Perry lookalike as his wife recovers from food poisoning


At first glance, Russell Brand looks like he is having a whale of a time relaxing poolside in Los Angeles with wife Katy Perry.

However, on closer inspection, the lady showing off her figure in a tight black swimsuit is not Katy, but a brunette who looks astonishingly like the Firework singer.

Perhaps Brand's new friend was just keeping him company by the hotel pool in Miami as Katy was struck down with food poisoning over the weekend - so much so that she was forced to reschedule two of her planned concerts.


She later promised: 'I am going to return in a few weeks to give them the very best show ever!'

Brand wore a pair of white patterned swimming shorts as he chilled out with his new friend on Sunday.

But Katy was clearly fully appraised of the situation as later in the day, the couple were seen out together stopping at a fruit stand in Los Angeles.

The pictures of the pair together, a rarity in recent months, are set to dismiss rumours their nine-month marriage it in trouble.

Chilling out: The pair looked comfortable in each other's company as they relaxed in the pool

Conversation: The brunette lady wore a black swimming costume while Brand wore a pair of patterned swimming shorts


It was even claimed the pair were considering a trial separation in a bid to keep their relationship on the right track.

A source told heat magazine that Katy had confided: 'We're thinking of taking a break from our marriage. I'm worried it could be the end of the road for us.'

However their spokesperson today vigorously denied the claim.

The couple have been plagued with reports their marriage isn't working ever since they tied the knot last October after a whirlwind one year long-distance romance.

Together again: Brand and Katy dispelled rumours of marital trouble as they were seen together on Sunday stopping at a fruit stand in Los Angeles


Vitamins: The fruit would no doubt have done Katy good, as she was hit with a nasty case of food poisoning over the weekend


But in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine earlier this year, Katy insisted she trusts her husband implicitly, despite his lothario past.

She said: 'There's never a dull moment. He has never lied to me once. I trust him; there’s just a level of trust that we’ve built up.'

However, in an interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories at the beginning of the year, Brand said staying faithful for the rest of his life was a daunting prospect.

He admitted: 'I take it one step at a time - like with drugs, like with alcohol. Don't look at things as in "rest of life".

'Of course marriage is for life and that's what I wanted but anything for the rest of life can be daunting.'

Katy Perry shows off her new accidental 'ginger' hairstyle as she launches her perfume

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Purr-ty: Katy Perry shows off her new ginger hair style as she launches her new fragrance in Toronto, Canada


Even though she looked flawless as she greeted fans at her perfume launch last night Katy Perry was well aware that she didn't appear quite right.

Because the singer was sporting a new accidental hair colour.

The 26-year-old songstress debuted a striking strawberry blonde hue to her hair, which for a long time has been dyed jet black, as she introduced her fragrance Purr at Sears in Toronto, Canada.


Lightening up: Katy is in the process of changing her hair to blonde from jet black


'On my way to launch PURR in TORONTO! FINALLY CA has PURR avail to them! she wrote on her Twitter page earlier in the day.

'P.s. If u see a ginger haired girl that looks like me, it's me! #yay.'

Katy, who is a natural blonde, has spent years maintaining her hair as a dark brunette, even dying her eyebrows and eyelashes to match.


Patience: The singer has to wait three weeks to lighten her locks further otherwise her hair could break off


If you see a ginger girl it's me! The singer told fans to look out for her
But in order to take her hair back to blonde the I Kissed A Girl singer had to complete the process in two stages.


So just over a week ago she had her hair dyed this dark red-blonde colour.

'So I didn't get to the exact color (sic) I wanted from being black for so long! she explained to her fans on Twitter.


Promo duties: Katy took part in a Q&A session with her Canadian fans


'2get to goal I have 2b GINGER for 3WKS,' before explaining: 'If I don't wait 3wks, I'll end up w/no hair or a #pixie90scutw/abarretteinthefront It's okay, I'll get to my secret color(s) soon! #patience'

Katy is currently in the middle of her California Dreams tour which sees her performing tonight in Toronto before heading to Montreal and Ottawa next week.

Meanwhile, back at home in Los Angeles, it was revealed that Katy and her husband Russell Brand have bought a $6.5 million Hollywood Hills mansion.

What will Katy say? After his wife adds yet more tour dates, Russell Brand reaches out to a pretty crew member on set

By Daily Mail Reporter


Tactile: Russell Brand can be seen holding the hand of a pretty blonde crew member on set in Miami today


He's known for his tactile manner but Russell Brand will raise more than a few eyebrows with these shots of him holding a pretty girl's hand.

The reformed lothario, 36 , is on set in Miami where he's filming new movie Rock of Ages, and the fair haired maiden is clearly a crew member.

Russell is given to such displays of warm affectionate towards people that such tender gestures largely go unnoticed.


But the fact that the pair of them were holding in hands today in a manner normally reserved for romantic couples is striking.

It comes hot on the heels of news that Brand's wife of eight months, pop sensation Katy Perry, is extending her tour well into November.

A source told the Mail: 'Katy has only four days off until the end of September, when she’s in Brazil.’

Friendly touch: Brand cuddles up to the blonde in a break from filming

Busy schedules: Perry and Brand at the MTV Europe Awards in Madrid last year


‘She hopes Russell will join her but isn’t sure whether he will be allowed entry because of his criminal record. She is taking a few days off for their first anniversary in October which they plan to celebrate in the UK.’


The pair are even have even put their L.A home in trendy Los Feliz on the market, with friends reporting it is empty most of the time.

When Brand delivered his best man's speech at rock legend Noel Gallagher's wedding at the weekend in England, Perry, 26 , was unable to be by his side.

Brand is said to have brought the house down by affectionately lampooning the former Oasis great, and telling stories about his new wife, Sara McDonald.

But there was no chance to relive fond memories of his marriage to Perry on a tiger reserve in India last October.

And with the comedian's commitments on the film - which is being adapted from the Broadway hit and stars Tom Cruise and Catherine Zeta Jones - destined to keep him in Miami for the foreseeable, it could be hard for the newlyweds to spend any quality time together.

But reports of trouble in paradise are unfounded, and it's likely that Brand is just being his usual touchy feely self.

Perry's tour takes her around the US and the UK over the forthcoming months, and Brand is so keen to see her despite their clashing schedules that he even flies with their pet cats.

She told the Daily Star: 'I miss my kitties. One time I asked Russell to bring the cats with him so we could all hang out. Putting a cat on a plane is strange, but I always make sure it’s in first class.'
