Mariah Carey dedicates guest room to fans

Mariah Carey has dedicated a room in her New York penthouse to fans who stood by her when she was ill.

The walls of the butterfly-themed guest room are adorned with letters and cards from well-wishers.

Mariah will take MTV viewers on a guided tour of the 17th floor apartment in a programme to be shown next month.

It has a built-in beauty salon, a gym and a room just for her lingerie.

She also shows off a designer bed for her cats and hundreds of pair of shoes.

Mariah says: "I came from a tough neighbourhood so it's nice to have a place like this to call my own."

The singer suffered an emotional breakdown last summer.
