With everyone scrambling to get ready for the January 3rd Launch Date, producers are baffled by some requests the celebrities are making. Look out Mariah Carey, they’re giving you a run for your money. Some of the demands are a refrigerator fully stocked with champagne (have they ever seen the show before?), a butler as well as Heidi Fleiss requesting a webcam so she can have a 24-7 view of her birds. Right…

CELEB Big Brother stars have shocked bosses with a list of diva demands that includes their own butler. The wannabes, who will step inside the house on Sunday, have asked for a string of bizarre luxury items.

They include a mosquito net, 500 mini-candles, fresh flowers, cleaning wipes and even a dog. But the stars, rumoured to include Alex Reid, 34, and Heidi Fleiss, 44, have also asked for a butler to serve them and a fridge full of champagne.

Ice queen Heidi left bosses bemused when she asked for a webcam so she could watch her birds. She keeps a house full of macaws, cockatiels and parrots and hates being away from them. A show source said: “We are used to some weird demands but this lot are more bonkers than usual. “I think some of them believe it’s going to be a holiday camp.”

Cage-fighter Alex looks set for an early exit because he suffers badly from wind. Show sources who met him for talks claim he could not stop “letting one off” during interviews. An insider warned: “Alex thought it was funny. But if you’re stuck in a house with him and he’s doing it, it isn’t. They’re rancid.”
