Songstress Charli XCX has revealed that she took an inflatable Justin Bieber doll on tour with her when she was in America. 

Speaking to Metro U.S. recently, the 'Boom Clap' beauty explained that she would sleep in the same room with the blow-up likeness: "I received an inflatable life-size Justin Bieber doll when I was on tour in the USA. We took it on tour with us and he slept in my room. Nothing happened, though."

When asked if he's like her inflatable boyfriend, she added that they used the doll as more of a tour mascot: "I don't know if I would take it that far. He's more like a team mascot - he's slept around."

Charli XCX, meanwhile, confessed to Digital Spy that her next album will be her most 'poptastic' yet: "It's definitely much more electronic, the most electronic sound I've done. I'm very inspired by this girl Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. [It's] definitely the most poptastic hyperactive stuff I've made."
