Porn star Stormy Daniels a no-show on Loose Women where she was booked to explain quitting £750,000 Celebrity Big Brother appearance
PORN star Stormy Daniels pulled out of two TV shows yesterday after allegedly throwing “an unbelievable tantrum”.
The 39-year-old, famed for claiming she had an affair with Donald Trump, announced she was quitting Channel 5’s Celebrity Big Brother two hours before Thursday night’s series opener.
She was then booked on ITV’s Loose Women to explain her decision but failed to appear despite turning up at the studio.
Stormy was reportedly being paid £750,000 to appear on CBB, which would have made her Britain’s highest-paid reality star.
There were rumours she had asked for extra cash, after previously scaling down her contract to appear for just seven days of the three-and-a-half week run.
Last night her agent Lianne Young, an ex-porn star and friend of 20 years, wrote online: “She pulled out at 7pm, two hours before the show went live after suddenly losing herself in an unbelievable tantrum for no reason.”
Stormy had reportedly been reluctant to board her flight from the US, saying she was uncomfortable with producers’ requests.
But her lawyer Michael Avenatti yesterday insisted she was unwilling to be “controlled” by CBB bosses.
He said: “It was over a row with producers. They insisted she conduct herself in a certain way.
“They attempted to control her and produce a certain result, which she did not feel comfortable with.”
Asked to comment on claims she quit after demanding extra money, he responded: “Complete b******.”
Show executives did not deny a row with producers.
They said Stormy told the production team “hours” before the show was to air that she no longer wanted to participate as agreed “several months” earlier.
A spokeswoman added: “Producers discussed a variety of options with her but were unable to agree any acceptable conditions for her entering the house.”
Loose Women presenter Kaye Adams said Stormy was prevented from going on-screen because of legal issues.
Panellist and Sun columnist Jane Moore, who spoke to her off-air, said a custody battle involving her daughter in the US was to blame.
The show team tweeted the no-show was “due to reasons out of our control”.
She was expected to fly back to the US last night after skipping a morning flight booked for her by Channel 5.
Stormy, real name Stephanie Clifford, made worldwide headlines after claiming President Trump’s then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen paid her hush money days before the 2016 election to stop her saying they had an affair in 2006.
Mr Trump denies the allegations.
