Lady Gaga scarecrow: Odd outfit inspired farmer
A farmer was so inspired by the bizarre outfit Lady Gaga wore to the Brit Awards, he decided to honour it in his own special way.Nigel Britten, from Surrey, says as soon as he saw Lady Gaga's scary outfit and bizarre make-up, he thought how good it would look on one if his scarecrows.
Helped by his wife, he set about creating the 7ft tall Worzel Gaga - which comes complete with a crazy towering wig and flowing white gown.
Over recent years he says bird have become more audacious and less scared by the tradition scarecrow, but this one seems to be doing the trick. We think the only thing more scary would be if he actually got Lady Gaga to stand they herself… or maybe played her music into the field.
Britten, who grows 100% British wheat for bakers Hovis, said: "I was watching Lady Gaga at the Brits with my wife and the idea suddenly came to me."I know it's not the most traditional scarecrow, but I suppose we have to move with the times.
"I don’t know whether it's the dress or the hair but the birds are terrified – they daren't approach the field anymore. Though I suppose she does look pretty scary."
