“Snake therapy” and spanking… a royal detox? The late Queen’s bizarre cousin Princess Olga Romanoff, 73, reveals how she underwent bizarre treatments for the Channel 4 reality show – including an intimate steaming made famous by Gwyneth Paltrow
The late Queen’s bizarre niece, Princess Olga Romanoff, has revealed how she underwent some bizarre detox methods for a new television reality show, including an intimate steaming made famous by Gwyneth Paltrow.
A descendant of the Russian Imperial Romanovs, she will also be seen naked in the mirror by viewers, beaten, undergo snake therapy and participate in urine therapy for the Channel 4 series The Big Celebrity Detox.
Next month, viewers will see the late Queen Elizabeth’s nephew take part in the bizarre treatments, including “steaming Yoni,” something the 73-year-old describes as a “murderer.”
She told The Mail on Sunday: ‘My idea of a detox is to get massaged and have fruit juices and salad leaves – but then there was the Yoni fuming.
“It was so embarrassing to me because you have to sit on this thing and steam yourself from the neck down with this golden robe. You then have to shout out loud, “I love my vagina.”
A descendant of Russia’s Imperial Romanovs, Princess Olga Romanoff is no stranger to reality TV and was featured on Keeping Up With The Aristocrats last year
Princess Olga Andreevna Romanoff is a Russian princess and descendant of the House of Romanov. She is the great-granddaughter of Dowager Empress Maria of Russia, and her father is a cousin of Tsar Nicholas II
‘I would never go get a bowl of hot water and put herbs in it and then put it under a round hole and sit on it. I mean why?
“It’s the only part of your body that’s self-cleaning, you don’t really need to steam your Yoni.” I know Gwyneth Paltrow is totally into that sort of thing.
“I was raised with a stiff upper lip and you don’t let it all out, but our guru (who is in charge of the program) wanted it all to come out. He kept saying, “I see an inner freak in you, Olga.” And eventually it all came out. I’ve been blown away by this show.’

Ms. Romanoff stars alongside celebrities such as Homes Under The Hammer host Martin Roberts and singer Kerry Katona in the show which airs next month.
And she also shared how a therapist beat her as part of the regimen.
She said, “The therapist had these paddles, I saw that and I stepped back and said, ‘I don’t think I’m going to do this.’ So finally I said, “Okay, I’ll do it, but I’m only getting spanked by the therapist because I don’t feel like any of you spanking me!”
‘My mother beat me on my bare buttocks until I was six years old. So I think it was similar.’
Mrs. Romanoff lives in the hamlet of Provender, near Faversham, Kent. She has restored the 13th century mansion and opened it to tourists.
Last year she took part in the ITV series Keeping Up With The Aristocrats.
