Rihanna plays live drinking game with fans during Bates Motel so she wouldn’t have to watch her saucy sex scene
The Work singer cringed as she watched herself star as Marion Crane in the dramatic Hitchcock adaptation
RIHANNA turned to booze to help her watch her steamy Bates Motel debut, shotting tequila to distract from a raunchy sex scene.
The singer-come-actress, 29, launched a live Instagram feed, inviting fans to watch the fun unfold and share in her discomfort.
Unable to listen to herself speak on-screen, she told her followers: "This is so weird, oh my God.
"I can't, I can't hear my voice. It's, like, gross!"
Easing her pain, she decided to take a shot every time the name Norman was mentioned - no mean feat considering the series is based around the deranged Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore).
Starring as the iconic Marion Crane, originally portrayed by Janet Leigh in Alfred Hitchcock's seminal 1960 horror flick Psycho, Rihanna was introduced romping with on-screen boyfriend Sam Loomis (Austin Nichols).
Viewers learned that Sam is experiencing major money troubles and was due to leave town to find work, while Marion was desperate for the pair to get married and start a life together as husband and wife.
She was then seen going to work as a notary public and being turned down for both a promotion and a pay rise.
Despairing, she saw an opportunity to make off with $40,000 cash when her boss asked her to transport the briefcase of money, handed over by a wealthy property developer, to a bank.
Marion took flight with the cash, driving away from the deal, and called Sam, asking him to meet her at the Bates Motel - setting the plot for her next, and final, episode.
