Janet Street-Porter has admitted she makes diva-style demands at Loose Women.

The panelist likes to get special treatment behind the scenes on the ITV show which includes a specific list of items on her rider.

She said: "They call me a diva. I’ve got my own list of requirements in my dressing room. I like Redbush tea bags, I like heated rollers on, I don’t want to talk to anyone really. Unfortunately I do have to.!"
