Washington, Nov 19 (ANI): Singer Mariah Carey's plans to celebrate white Christmas at an upcoming London have been thrown into jeopardy by the organisers, it has emerged.

The 'Santa Baby' hitmaker is set to switch on the Christmas lights at the U.K. capital's Westfield Shopping Centre today, and the 40-year-old had vowed to make it a party to remember.

According to the Daily Mail, Carey had requested for 20 white kittens and 100 doves onstage, but the organisers refused to cater to her demands.

We did manage to source the doves that we were going to release into the sky, but the kittens proved terribly difficult, Contactmusic quoted a source as saying.

In the end, it was made clear that due to health and safety (restrictions), there was no way we could have the animals at Westfield. We do not allow pets into Westfield - that rule would apply for everyone, the source added. (ANI)
