Lady Gaga has said she thought her fiance Michael Polansky was joking when he proposed to her on April Fool’s Day.

The American singer and actress, 38, said she had wanted to keep the engagement “a secret”, but was heard on video at the Paris Olympics earlier this year introducing entrepreneur and investor Polansky as her fiance.
