Mariah Carey lives up to her diva reputation as she employs TWO people to towel her dry

When she visited London earlier this year, Mariah Carey dismissed rumours she was a diva, insisting she was misunderstood.

But the superstar's recent behaviour is doing little to dispel the stereotype after she was spotted being dried by two assistants following a dip in the Mediterranean.

The 38-year-old singer is enjoying a 'second honeymoon' with new husband Nick Cannon, 27, in Capri after a belated wedding party in New York last weekend.

After enjoying a dip in the open sea, a bikini-clad Mariah was helped onto her luxury yacht by some male assistants before she was greeted by a cosy, waiting towel.

As she was hoisted up the back of the boat, Mariah revealed her stunning bikini body after slimming down earlier this year to promote her latest album E=MC2.

Wearing a flowery, string bikini, Mariah looked toned, but curved, and flashed a butterfly tattoo on her lower back.

After drying off, Mariah enjoyed some glasses of champagne with her toyboy husband of four months, before changing into a second one-piece swimsuit.

It wasn't long before the couple were back in the water after getting a smaller speed boat to a rocky enclave, where they enjoyed a cuddle in the shade.
Mariah has been looking better than ever this year after embarking on a diet and fitness regime.

The singer toned up by swimming in her private pool every day, and even though she's on holiday, Mariah has been continuing her fitness routine by swimming in the Med.

Speaking of her keep fit plan, Mariah said: 'What's great about working out in the pool is that the water acts as resistance, so you're actually exercising twice as hard without feeling it.'

Mariah and rapper/actor Nick arrived in Capri - where the singer holidays every year - this week after celebrating their nuptials with a star-studded party in the Hamptons, New York on Saturday.

Record boss Antonio 'L.A.' Reid hosted the couple's post-wedding party at his Sagaponack mansion.


Among the guests were LL Cool J, Samuel L. Jackson and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The party was a chance for Mariah and Nick to celebrate their nuptials in the U.S. after a small, private ceremony in the singer's private estate in the Bahamas on April 30th.

Their shock marriage came just six weeks after they started dating after Mariah cast Nick as her love interest in the video for her single Bye Bye.

Following the marriae, Mariah said: 'We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me.

'My pastor Clarence Keaton flew in from New York. The whole wedding was really beautiful and sweet. Being there with loved ones under the sky ... it was a spiritual moment.'
