Ariana Grande reveals why she thinks of London as her 'second home'

Ariana Grande thinks of London as her "second home". The 31-year-old pop star was born in Florida, USA and now resides mostly in Los Angeles but feels a connection to the English capital after spending months filming 'Wicked' there. Speaking during a live stream of the London premiere on the movie's official YouTube channel on Monday (18.

11.24), she said: "It feels like my second home just for being here for so long and I love it so, so much. "I'm just so grateful, it's really full circle It's so overwhelming and the fans are so beautiful too.



" The 'Into You' hitmaker stars as Glinda the Good Witch in the film adaptation of the smash-hit Broadway musical - which is the unofficial prequel to 'The Wizard of Oz' - and wore a yellow dress seemingly inspired by her character's outfit from the number 'One Short Day' as seen in the show. Meanwhile, her British-born co-star Cynthia Erivo - who plays misunderstood green girl Elphaba and eventually becomes the Wicked Witch of the West - gave a nod to the famous line said by Judy Garland in the 1939 classic as she spoke of bringing the film to her home country. She said: "There's no place like home! It's definitely a full-circle moment.

This is home for me, so bringing it back is really wonderful for me." It was reported during the filming of 'Wicked' that Ariana had moved into a North London mansion while she worked on the project. A source told The Sun: "Ariana is renting a stunning house in one of the capital’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

"But anyone who thinks they might catch a glimpse of her has no chance, as the place she has found is like a fortress. "The home has private grounds and is well out of reach of other people, so she’ll be able to totally switch off after filming.".
