Show demand: ITV anchor Kate Garraway said that when she interviewed Mariah in 2009 the famous singer (and infamous diva) was LOWERED onto the GMTV sofa by two ITV producers so that she wouldn't crease her dress. She also had an assistant walk backwards in front of her at all times in case she fell over. As you do.
Previously, it was revealed how US legend Mariah sleeps with a whopping 20 humidifiers in her room and how she allegedly demanded a rider filled with 20 white kittens and 100 white doves.
Reverting to type at the Capital radio event, This Morning presenter and Capital Breakfast DJ Sian Welby, 38, let slip the backstage detail exclusively to The Sun.
She told us: "We will do what we're told.
"When it comes to Mariah, she is the boss.
"She's changed the whole dressing room to just be called Mimi's World.
"Doesn't even have Capital branding anymore. It's all her zone."
The We Belong Together hitmaker hit the stage donning a black playsuit with semi-sheer tights.
She styled her hair poker-straight and accessorised with sparkling silver bangles and red lippie.
Despite the London heat, she finished her look with a pair of thigh high boots and dark sunglasses.
The star's diva demands and confessions have gone down in the showbiz history books.
Recently she said she shunned acknowledgment of her birthdays and said: "I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them - I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling."
Mariah is also renowned for her super slim-fitting clothing choices, often accessorised with towering heels.

David Beckham sends olive branch to son Brooklyn with subtle sign he wants to heal family feud
DAVID Beckham sent an olive branch to son Brooklyn amid the family's feud. Rumours of a family feud have been rife after Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. 4 David Brooklyn has sent an olive branch to his eldest son Brooklyn Credit: Getty 4 The football legend liked Brooklyn's Instagram reel Credit: Instagram/Brooklynpeltzbeckham 4 It comes amid an ongoing rift within the famous family Credit: Getty The rift between Brooklyn, wife Nicola and his parents has seemingly widened over the past few months. However, football legend David, 50, has liked one of Brooklyn's recent Instagram reels - suggesting tensions could be easing. The clip began with Brooklyn cuddling two adorable dogs as he addressed his followers. Following this, he then proceeded to showcase his Spaghetti Carbonara recipe. One follower commented: "Loving the doggies!" Another added: "You look like your dad Brooklyn." A third chimed in: "I love spaghetti carbonara! "You make it look so easy to make! Going to have to try my hand at it!" While a fourth directly addressed the feud by saying: "Go and make up with your parents. Who brought you into the world." It comes as mum Victoria recently extended a similar olive branch to her eldest son. Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz 'renew wedding vows' after 3 years of marriage In that video, budding chef Brooklyn, 26, rustled up tomato pasta on a yacht, using a pan of seawater to cook his spaghetti. Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their wedding vows after three years of marriage. The couple, who first got married in April 2022 after dating for three years, reportedly said "I do" again. A source close to the couple revealed to People magazine: "The event is about honouring the love and commitment they've built together over the years, and creating a memory that will stay with them forever." Seemingly confirming the news, a source then told Metro: "This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together." The Sun approached the Peltz-Beckham's representatives and teams for comment. Brooklyn previously shared a video of him and Nicola riding on his motorbike, captioning: 'My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.' Those close to the Beckhams said the message seemed 'very pointed'. A source added: 'It shows how much this situation with his family has escalated. "It's very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn't the Brooklyn his family knows and loves. 'This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.'

Controversial book adaptation shocks viewers with BDSM sex
Emerald Fennell's controversial adaptation of Wuthering Heights has been met with shock and labelled 'aggressively provocative' by initial audiences. Fennell's 2023 dark comedy Saltburn, starring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi, caused quite the stir when it was released a couple of years ago. The film featured darkly erotic scenes and was praised for its severe sexual content and nudity, as well as its frequent depiction of violence and gore. Because of this huge success, the announcement that Fennell would be directing an adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights was met with excitement – and concern from literary fans. The casting of Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie respectively as Heathcliff and Cathy, raised major eyebrows, and now it's been reported that an initial first screening of the unfinished film has left many shocked by the content of the period piece. World of Reel revealed that the adaptation included -among other shocking scenes – a nun fondling a corpse, BDSM, and sexualised slugs and egg yolks. Attendees have reported that the film includes 'hyper-sexualised imagery' with a 'grotesque' scene that sees a public hanging end with the condemned man ejaculating during the execution. This is followed up with some blasphemous necrophia from a nun who 'fondles the corpse's visible erection'. There are 'several masturbation scenes' that are 'purposefully discomforting' and a 'BDSM-tinged encounter' involving a woman being strapped into some horse reins. There are also some rather sexy textures, including 'egg yolks running through fingers', sliding slugs, and a bit of dirty dough kneading. Test screenings can often lead to major edits to the film, and with Fennell's film not set to be released until February 2026, who knows if any of this will make it to the final cut! The film has faced criticism for casting Elordi, yet another white actor to play Heathcliff, a famously non-white role that was written by Brontë. On one page of the original novel, Heathcliff is described as a 'dark-skinned gipsy in aspect', while another refers to his 'dusky fingers'. Characters debate his appearance to be of a 'Lascar' – a dated description meaning a sailor from India or Southeast Asia – or 'an American or Spanish castaway'. Casting director Kharmel Cochrane worked on the film and is one of the biggest names in her field in the UK, having previously worked on the likes of Nosferatu, Saltburn, Bob Marley: One Love. While at the Sands International Film Festival of St Andrews, she told Metro that she is very much aware of the abuse directed at her after her casting choices for the film. 'I have really had to hold back on Instagram after a glass of wine, because I think someone was like, 'The casting director should be shot',' she said. More Trending 'There's definitely going to be some English Lit fans that are not going to be happy.' She then added: 'Wait until you see the set design, because it's even more shocking. And there may or may not be a dog collar in it.' 'You can read anything into a book and make it your interpretation. And it's really easy to sit online and say things, but just wait until you've watched it, and then you can say – maybe not that I deserve to be shot – but you can say what you want!' Cochrane suggests. Got a story?

So this Christmas, I won't have the kids."
