KEY POINTS:
Most people were unaware a singing sensation was in their midst last night but one man will always remember the night he fixed Gwen Stefani's television.
The blonde star, 37, arrived at Auckland Airport from Los Angeles about 6am yesterday for her Sweet Escape Tour show tonight at Vector Arena.
The singer was accompanied by her husband, British rocker Gavin Rossdale, and her 1-year-old son, Kingston.
The Herald visited the Sky City Grand where she was staying with her family last night. Most of the hotel workers refused to talk about Stefani but one doorman, who did not want to be named, told how he got to play handyman.
"When I got to work at 3pm they told me she was in-house and they told me to go to her room and fix her TV," he said.
"When I got in it was her, her husband and her little baby. She was getting a bottle ready for the baby."
He apologised to her about her broken TV.
"She was very very nice. She said 'that's fine'."
He spent about six minutes in the room and said although he was nervous he tried to act professionally. Stefani tipped him but the doorman would not say how much.
He said he was a big fan of hers but did not have tickets for the show.
The singer, with baby in tow, paid a visit to Auckland Zoo.
Last night Ticketmaster said sales for the concert had gone well and predicted the show would be a sellout.
