Nick Riewoldt’s hilarious story about a camel, Katy Perry and Nick Dal Santo

NICK Riewoldt has revealed a hilarious brush with the stars involving former St Kilda teammate Nick Dal Santo, pop queen Katy Perry — and a camel... sort of.

Nick Dal Santo once had a hilarious brush with Katy Perry.

NICK Riewoldt hung out with Vincent Chase from Entourage while Nick Dal Santo jumped on Katy Perry when she was wearing a camel suit at a Hollywood party.

These are some of the more interesting revelations from Riewoldt’s book, ‘The Things That Make Us’, which includes a chapter on life in the spotlight.

This is where the former St Kilda champion talks about the time he spent going out with Neighbours star Stephanie McIntosh.

Nick Riewoldt with former Neighbours flame Stephanie McIntosh at St Kilda's 2009 best and fairest count.

Their relationship started in 2005 and for a period she moved to Los Angeles in search of her big break with Riewoldt tagging along.

It turns out McIntosh’s friend was living with Adrian Grenier, the star of Entourage.

“I ended up spending a bit of time with him, going to the movies, whatever,” Riewoldt wrote.

“It was a novelty to hang out with him. We stayed at his joint a couple of times, crashed there after nights out.”

That time Rooey hung out with Entourage star Adrian Grenier.

Through McIntosh’s connections he also hung out with Adam Levine, from Maroon 5, who was renowned for throwing a legendary Halloween party.

One year he took teammates, Dal Santo and Leigh Montagna, along with the highlight being the encounter with Perry.

“There was a two-person camel, like the old horse or cow get-up. Dal thought it would be a good idea to jump on the camel’s hump and go for a ride,” Riewoldt wrote.

“He leapt on and this voice from inside the camel suit screamed, “Hey, hey, it’s a girl in there!”

“The camel’s hump came off and it was Katy Perry.”

Nick Dal Santo once had a hilarious brush with Katy Perry.

Dal Santo immediately asked for a photo with the pop star saying: “You can have a photo if you stop speaking in that ridiculous accent.”

When contacted about the Perry story yesterday, Dal Santo’s memory was a bit hazy but he conceded his teammate’s version rang a bell.
