Lady Gaga has been using a body double in order to fool the paparazzi in Australia.

According to reports, the Bad Romance singer has employed a lookalike to distract photographers so she is able to use her free time Down Under to relax.

Last week, Gaga almost collapsed on stage due to dehydration and exhaustion, and it’s believed she is hoping to rest inbetween her shows.

“She’s hardly been seen,” said a source. “She flew in and has been lying low in her hotel. She’s even been using a body double to keep the attention off her.

“The word is that although she will do her shows, GaGa has been ill and is exhausted from her hectic workload. She’s in Australia to chill out as much as she is for her fans.”
