Mariah Carey was out-and-about in London last night.

And her hired helpers were making sure no-one was getting too close to the star...only them.

As you can see from these pictures, her bodyguards were getting very touchy-feely with MiMi as they tried to usher her inside the Dorchester Hotel.

Mariah didn't seem too bothered though and she was still happy to pose for pictures and sign autographs for fans.
