Tommy's #1 SHANIA TWAIN SuperSite Message Board

Former BBC producer Gareth Davies — who has worked with some of the biggest female pop singers in music history — says Shania Twain was “one of the biggest divas” he met during his time in the industry.

“With Shania Twain, as soon as she was asked to come on stage at ‘Top of the Pops,’ there was this very long line of entourage running one after the other, almost like a conga,” Davies recalled in an exclusive interview with Page Six, referring to the popular British television program.

Davies claimed that Twain “doesn’t open doors,” prompting her team to race ahead of her to ensure they reached each exit first.

“They were basically all running to the next door, the next door, the next door through the BBC corridors to make sure that when Shania started walking, she didn’t have to slow down at any point,” he said.

“It was quite fascinating to see … It was sort of like this regimented, rehearsed line that if someone faltered, if someone didn’t get to the door before Shania did, they might be in trouble,” he claimed, describing it as feeling “a little bit overkill.”
