Staff in Co Down cafe 'starstruck' as Sinead O'Connor walks in for breakfast

Staff in a cafe in Co Down were left "starstruck" when Sinead O'Connor walked through their doors for breakfast.

Sean Roberts, who owns Cafe 31, revealed he didn't recognise the superstar singer and her daughter who visited their shop on Market Street in Downpatrick.

Sean said the staff were stunned when they realised who the pair were, Belfast Live reports.

He said: "They both came in this morning and ordered a couple of coffees and a vegan style breakfast but we didn't recognise Sinead at this stage," he added.

"Then another customer said 'I think that is Sinead O'Connor' and I just had to ask her was it her - I couldn't believe that she was in our cafe.

"She was such a lovely woman and really easy going and friendly to talk to.  She asked for a photo with us and we were completely starstruck.

"I am not sure what she is doing in Downpatrick, I didn't want to be nosey and bombard her with questions.

"She left really happy with her service and asked about the brand of our coffees because she loved it so much. We are just all so chuffed."
