EXCLUSIVE: 'His diva demands are off the scale': Kim Kardashian's BFF Jonathan Cheban 'requested exotic food flown in by jet and Rolls-Royce ride to CBB launch'
He may have spent his life Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but Celebrity Big Brother producers are now finding it hard to keep up with Jonathan Cheban.
Because Kim Kardashian's best friend, 41 - the newest arrival to the CBB 2016 house in London - has been making 'off the scale' diva demands for his latest reality television appearance.
A source close to the US reality star told MailOnline that he asked for mandarin and Japanese food to be flown in by private jet and even specified the car he wanted to roll up in for Tuesday night's launch.

Diva demands: CBB's newest import Jonathan Cheban is said to have more diva demands than the show has ever seen before
Disclosing some of the star's last-minute requests, an industry insider revealed on Wednesday: ‘Jonathan’s diva demands are off the scale.
‘For the launch show, he requested that he be driven to the eye in a black Rolls-Royce. And he also demanded that he could order in food from restaurants Roka, Nobu, Zuma and Mandarin Oriental.
‘All of this after he was flown over by show producers in a private jet from the States! They’re the biggest demands Celebrity Big Brother has ever encountered.’

No doubt Jonathan has been used to high standards, having been known as one of Kim's closest friends for nine years and a confidante to one of the world's most famous families.
With their multi-million dollar residences, lavish holidays and even more expensive shopping habits, the Kardashians have certainly set the bar high for the producers and Jonathan may be in for a surprise.
It was also previously reported that the restaurant owner said he would only sleep in a king size bed, complete with Egyptian cotton linens, sourced from the £18,000-a-night Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hyde Park, London.

That's not a privilege that the other 15 contestants will experience, though Jonathan is also thought to be one of the best-paid stars in this year's line-up, which includes Michael Jackson's friend David Gest, ex-EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook and TOWIE's Gemma Collins.
It was reported in December that producers were quaking in their boots about this crop of contestants' extreme diva demands.
According to The Daily Mirror, one star reportedly thought they could stay at a hotel at night time but film their segments during the day.
While another requested to be fed burger and chips in the Diary Room without the knowledge of their fellow housemates.
