Channel 7 News reporter Paul Dowsley has shed light on how he managed to secure a rare interview with American pop superstar Katy Perry in the Channel 7 studios last week.

Perry had just wrapped up an interview on Sunrise, and Dowsley told Jacqui Felgate on 3AW Drive the full story on what happened next.

“This is the moment where I need to pounce,” Dowsley said.
