Mariah Carey: 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.
