Paris Hilton's parents used to confiscate her mobile phone as punishment when she misbehaved as a child.

The hotel heiress's mother Kathy has revealed she and husband Rick used their daughter's phone obsession to discipline her.

Kathy said: "When Paris disobeyed us, we would first confiscate her mobile phone - which was practically her life. Second time it would be disconnected, for a month or so.

"Mothers are mothers, annoying. Perhaps I was too strict with Paris. But she drove me crazy for two years. We lived in a hotel then. In the evenings she would lay a doll under her bedclothes and put on a wig to sneak out of the house. She was cheeky but never spoiled."

Kathy is still strict with Paris, even though she is now 26, and has revealed she still tells her off when she reads about bad things she has been up to.

Kathy added in an interview with Germany's Die Wielt newspaper: "I am very strict. I call my daughter up and say, 'That is enough now, stop, I don't want to hear any more. You better stay home.' Of course I worry. That is why I nag just like all mothers. I am anything but an easy mother."

And her daughter IS easy.
