Jessie J laughs off 'diva demand' reports

Jessie J has dismissed reports she has a list of "diva demands", insisting the only bizarre item she requires in her dressing room is a lava lamp.


The Price Tag hitmaker was rumoured to have requested pricey champagne and exercise equipment to be stocked backstage at U.K. TV talent show The Voice during her stint as a judge.


But the singer is adamant she only asked for a scented candle to help her relax, and a lava lamp, as it reminds her of her time spent in London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, where she was treated for heart problems as a child.


She tells Grazia magazine, "No champagne. No yoga mats or anything. That was meant to be one of my diva demands. I did ask for a scented candle. I don't think it's too much to ask for a nice, relaxing smell in the room.


"I also asked for a lava lamp. When I was a kid, they used to have a room at Great Ormond Street Hospital where you'd go and chill out. It was full of lava lamps and water lamps and since then it's always been a way to help me wind down...


"But is there anything wrong with asking for what you know is good for you? Does that make you a diva, a pain? Or does it make you someone who knows what they want?"
