Mariah Carey showed off her extensive lingerie collection on the Oprah Winfrey show yesterday.

But male fans hoping for a titillating display shouldn't get too excited - the singer simply opened her underwear closet to the TV crew.

The pop star, 38, showed off her New York apartment to the Oprah audience and revealed the diet secrets behind her slender new look.

Mariah has slimmed down to promote her 11th studio album E=MC2 and new single Touch My Body, which broke Elvis Presley's record for the most U.S. number ones for a solo artist.

Opening her underwear wardrobe to the Oprah crew, Mariah said: "This is the first time I have ever let anybody in my lingerie closet - anybody with cameras.

"Typically I throw on some comfortable PJs, or perhaps some boxers and a little tank, and just call it a day and go to sleep.

That's a lorra lorra lingerie: Mariah's underwear collection

If we are feeling extra good about ourselves after our little diet I might like another type of ensemble.

"I kind of collect lingerie. I collect perfume bottles, all things feminine."

Mariah admitted she couldn't resist buying lingerie during her annual trips to the Italian isle of Capri.

"Sometimes I'll find things there that they don't have here."

Despite declaring the media obsession with celebrities' weight as "ridiculous", Mariah decided to get in shape last year after a friend made a comment about her figure.

Come on in, the water's lovely: Mariah urges her fans to get fit in the pool

Mariah got a personal trainer Patricia Gay - who she flies in from St. Barts for their training sessions - and started to eat sensibly.

The curvy singer works out for an hour each day and prefers to do most of her exercise in the pool.

She explained: "Working out and being on a diet has made me feel healthier, so that's a good thing.

"What's great about working out in the pool is that the water acts as resistance, so you're actually exercising twice as hard without feeling it."

Go Mariah! I'd had enough of her place after the whole cribs thing years back, lol. Although her Hello Kitty bathroom is quite cute!
