Florence Welch has admitted that she was "honoured" when she discovered that American pop princess Katy Perry had imitated her on last weekend's Saturday Night Live. 

The 'Teenage Dream' superstar impersonated red-headed Welch during a skit while she was hosting SNL on December 10 and performed a parody of 'Dog Days Are Over'. Although Welch hasn't yet watched the clip, she told Rolling Stone that it's great to be the centre of attention:

"I heard about that! I saw a picture. She looked good. They got the centre parting and the green dress. I haven't seen it, but I heard she did a really good job. It's kind of amazing, but I love the Saturday Night Live people."

"I really love Katy Perry so I feel really honoured," Welch added. "I saw a picture of her as me and I was like, 'Yeah'."
