The singer spoke out about the programme ahead of an episode which sees the cast perform her songs ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Poker Face’.

"I love Glee," the singer told Entertainment Weekly. "I love the cast and the creativity of the writers.

“I went to a musical theatre school and used to dream that some day the students would be singing my songs.”

The Lady Gaga inspired episode aired on US TV last night (May 25) and will be shown in the UK on Monday (May 31).

Glee tells the story of a fictional high school glee club called New Directions.
