Jonathan Cheban’s extravagant demands for Celebs Go Dating revealed as Kim Kardashian’s BFF demands a private jet and luxury hotel
The 42-year-old American reality star wants a hotel and a driver and a jet while he looks for love in the UK
Reality star Jonathan Cheban is clearly used to the good life as his list of rider demands for appearing on E4’s Celebs Go Dating borders on the extreme.
The 42-year-old American – who is best friends with ultimate reality star Kim Kardashian – is allegedly asking for a personal driver and a luxury hotel room for the duration of the show’s filming schedule.
Sources have also alleged he has demanded a private jet to fly him and his entourage from the States to London to film the second series of the hit dating show which is due to air next year.
“Jonathan has demanded… a suit for the duration at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel which costs up to £5,000 per night – a total cost of £300,000 for the 2 months he will stay in the UK,” the source whispered to the MailOnline.

“Show bosses are referring to him as their star of the show and are set to meet his demands at any cost to ensure he is happy,” the continued.
“Bosses are also set to secure Jonathan his own personal driver for his time on the show,” the source added.
Jonathan has enjoyed a long running friendship with the Kardashian family – often sharing candid moments from within Kim’s family home in Los Angeles on his social media apps and is friends with mother Kris Jenner as well as Kim's sisters Khloe and Kourtney.
He has appeared on Keeping Up With The Kardashians but seems keen to boost his own star power away from the E! network hit.
In January last year, he became more familiar to British TV viewers when he joined the cast of the 17th series of Celebrity Big Brother – although he walked out of the competition after just six days.
However Jonathan won’t be the only familiar face to be hoping to find love in the second series of the show.
Former TOWIE beauty Ferne McCann has been rumoured to be in the line-up – while recent CBB champ Stephen Bear has also been tipped to star on the show.
Former Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton – who released smash hits including Buttons and Don’t Cha alongside Nicole Scherzinger – is also tipped to be bringing her search for love from the USA to British shores.
Perri Kiely – who BGT fans will recognise from his dance troupe Diversity – is also in the line-up along with series one star Joey Essex who found love with fellow co-star Stephanie Pratt earlier in 2016 but the romance was short lived.
In November E4 confirmed Celebs Go Dating would have two series in 2017, both with 20 episodes each.
Channel 4’s Dom Bird said: “Following the huge success of the first series, E4 is delighted to bring Celebs Go Dating back to our screens for a longer run to find true love for those famous faces most in need of our helping hand.”
