LARA CROFT NOT UP TO THE TASK

Spoiled brats need not apply.
Nell McAndrew has demanded to be taken out of her army accommodation after branding it a "dump".

She was in Iraq to visit British troops, but ended up being flown to Kuwait so she could stay in a luxury hotel.

Despite having air conditioning, a large bedroom and hot meals, McAndrew was unhappy.

She told military chiefs: "This is unacceptable. There is no way I'm staying here."

She's also said to have disappointed troops in Basra after arriving two hours late for a visit, leaving her no time to meet the troops.

Major Charlie Mayo, a spokesman for the troops in Basra said: "Nell was shown the accommodation and washing facilities we had planned for her. She wasn't fantastically happy.

"She asked to be moved and was sent back to stay in a hotel in Kuwait. It's all rather strange."

The Daily Mirror says she also demanded that she be driven for two hours through the desert in an armoured Land Rover so she could do a photo-shoot. That delayed her trip to Basra by four hours and meant she just had time to pose for pictures.
