The American superstar splurged £4million on the TV extravaganza, which saw her recruiting a whole host of her A-list pals including Ariana Grande and Snoop Dogg to take part.

Oh, and there’s also the six-figure sum she splashed out on making sure she looked just right.

“And it did just that — not only in the reviews and ratings but in the budget.

“Overall it cost £4million to make, with cash being spent on securing the big names.

“Mariah does nothing by half and the special was created with huge production values.

“Her styling alone, including hair and make-up, cost more than £125,000, let alone the other £20,000 that she racked up in expenses and costs.

“But everyone who knows Mariah knows she’s worth every penny.”

The show, which also stars Jennifer Hudson, is available to stream online and after it was released on Friday has gone to No1 in the Apple TV+ Charts in 100 countries around the globe. And Mariah’s storyline of choice is as out there as the budget.

For anyone who’s not tuned in, the singer ends up being recruited by Father Christmas to head to the North Pole in a bid to help solve a holiday cheer crisis.
