Oprah’s message to Australia: I’m coming back!

Oprah's message to Australia: I'm coming back!

She just can’t stay away from her new favourite place.

A taste of Australia hasn’t been enough for Oprah Winfrey. Her love for our shores after her 10-day visit has inspired her to schedule a second holiday here. The warm welcome Australians afforded to Oprah left a lasting impression and encouraged the talk-show queen to stay on briefly in Sydney after her official duties ended on December14.

Now the spectacular ratings of her Australian shows have sparked plans for another showcase, featuring follow-ups with the local people she interviewed.

Australian Oprah fanatic Catherine Schrank, who scored a personal visit from the TV star when Oprah surprised her while she and her sisters were shopping in Melbourne, reveals plans are already under way for the next act of the Oprah circus.

“The producers contacted me and are interested in a follow-up,” Catherine confirms. “They want me to take some footage of the new nursery to use in the follow-up show.”

While Catherine isn’t certain of where it will be filmed, Oprah maintains she is planning to return to Australia for a personal visit along with best friend Gayle King, which suggests another local show is on the way.

“My bestie – I love that new word – Gayle is already planning to come back with her children,” Oprah told journalists during her stay. “I will be back.”
