Kate Garraway has revealed how Mariah Carey left the GMTV crew astounded with her diva demands during an interview that was aired today.
Stunned: Kate Garraway couldn't believe Mariah was such a diva
The presenter claims the 39-year-old singer had two flunkies to lower her onto the GMTV sofa when the pre-recorded appearance was filmed last week.
Miss Garraway told New! magazine: "We had Mariah Carey in the GMTV studios last week, where she was pre-recording an interview with Lorraine Kelly.
"I've heard a lot of rumours about her being a diva over the years and guess what? It turns out it's all true!
"While Mariah was very nice, the amount of people she had in her entourage was hilarious. They outnumbered the entire GMTV crew.
"She had two people to lower her on to the GMTV sofa, in case her dress got crushed, one person to walk in front of her backwards at all times in case she fell over and several people behind the camera making sure she was going to be filmed from the right angle.
"Have you ever heard anything like it? Oh, and she brought her own toilet roll as well."
The singer recently said she had "no idea" why people thought she was a diva, despite admitting that her two dogs have their own entourage.
Miss Carey's spokeswoman said Miss Garraway's claims were a "clear, gross exaggeration".
