A peek inside Katherine Jenkins' hotel room


Your favourite cello-toting hellraiser was rather amused to read the following press release this morning:

KATHERINE JENKINS TO BE TREATED TO UBER LUXURY SUITE FOR BIG GIG WEEKEND

Big Gig organiser Kevin Newton is providing Katherine Jenkins with the five star luxury Wells Cathedral suite in his 14th century Swan Hotel for the night of her concert on Sunday 27th September.

As one of the three rooms of luxury Kevin is throwing Katherine the following special treats:

  • Rose petals in the gold bath
  • Special silk pillow slips to prevent wrinkles and creases
  • Humidifier in the room for her voice
  • Godiva chocolates
  • White roses everywhere
  • Dom Perignon champagne
  • A sheepskin rug down the side of the bed so her feet touch that first thing the next morning
  • Bowls of maltesers
  • Cans of lilt
  • Rose quartz crystals because they attract unconditional love next to the bedside.


  • It’s got me thinking: perhaps I’m being a bit too reasonable with my hotel room requirements. I’ve never asked for anything more outrageous than a warm room with a bed, hot running water and a half decent breakfast in the morning, and it strikes me that my diva image could be greatly enhanced if I were to aim a bit higher. So here is my new list of hotel requirements:

  • A 24-carat gold toilet, studded with diamonds
  • Silk bog roll
  • Fluffy baby rabbits hopping around the place
  • Chomp bars
  • An additional king-size four-poster bed for my cello
  • A chocolate fountain
  • Asses milk in the bath
  • Kaballah water
  • My own personal sushi chef
  • A really fit masseur in a leather thong

    And if I don’t get all of these things, I’ll thcream and thcream and thcream until I’m thick.

    1. Leaving aside the obviously comical nature of the list (Lilt? Totally tropical it may be, but a bit random, no?), this is a prime example of shoddy PR - poor riting.

      I particularly like the description 'White roses everywhere'. What, literally? And isn't 'next to the bedside' a rather unusual place to want to attract unconditional love? Maybe I'm just missing out on something.

    2. Perhaps it's so unconditional that it won't give you time to get into the bed itself...

    3. … or only under certain conditions? That's the problem with unconditional love - it always comes at a price.
