Tycoon Donald Trump is being sued by the contractor who helped light up his wedding reception by installing three costly chandeliers at his MIRALAGO holiday complex in Florida.

NICHOLAS JACOBSEN erected the chandeliers at a cost of $36,000 (GBP18,940) but he claims Trump has only paid him half of the full fee.

Trump, who insists he will eventually honour the agreement he made with Jacobsen, hopes the lighting expert does push forward with his threat to take the businessman to court - because he'll shame him for his shoddy workmanship.

In a statement Trump has given to US court show CELEBRITY JUSTICE, he says, "They did a terrible job. He's a terrible contractor. He could not have been worse."
