Residents of Westbury New Road recently had a surprise visit from not just one celebrity, but two.
Rihanna, who lived in the area until she was 16-years-old visited her old home earlier this month, with media mogul Oprah Winfrey and a full camera crew in tow.
Oprah visited Barbados to interview Rihanna for Oprah’s Next Chapter which was aired on the new channel OWN.
In the hour-long interview there were sights and scenes from Barbados, including Westbury New Road where viewers glimpsed some of Rihanna’s old neighbours as she stopped to greet them.
The SUNDAY SUN returns to area and talks to neighbours about that visit.
Hear what they have to say about seeing Rihanna again, and meeting Oprah Winfrey, one of the richest women in the world, in person. (CM)
