Rihanna has a fishy tale to tell

R&B star Rihanna is so frightened of fish she once had to be dragged out of the sea by a passer-by after suffering a panic attack.

Despite being raised on the Caribbean Island of Barbados, Rihanna has a phobia about underwater life.

She told US magazine Blender: "I'm super-scared of sea creatures. Even tiny fish.

"One time I was in the water - and the water in Barbados is so clear you can see your feet - I saw all these tiny fish swimming around my feet, and I had a panic attack. I just froze.

"This man had to lift me out of the water." - Wenn
