22 people have died and a further 59 have been injured following two explosions in Manchester Arena last night.

The blasts went off as fans were leaving an Ariana Grande concert and police believe the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber.

Eye witnesses reported hearing ''huge bangs'' shortly after the concert finished at around 10:30 pm on Monday evening.

The area around the venue was quickly cordoned off as police and ambulances arrived at the scene.

Other witnesses described seeing people "running and screaming" from the arena, with some covered in blood.

The incident is being treated as a terrorist attack although no group has yet claimed responsibility. 

This morning Chief constable, Ian Hopkins confirmed that ‘children are among the deceased’.

Ariana Grande took to Twitter late last night to express her condolences for those killed in the attack.

We've been waiting a while for this.

James Corden's Carpool Karaoke has been a huge hit since it first debuted on his American version of The Late Late Show.

The TV segment was such a smash that it got commissioned for an entire show by Apple… and now the trailer is finally here.

Featuring everyone's favourite prince, Will Smith will be one of the first celebs to join the series (he better sing the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), as well as Metallica, John Legend, Ariana Grande and Alicia Keys.

The trailer sees Will crashing a wedding (imagine!) and John Legend grooving with a gospel choir in the middle of a launderette. Standard.

All we know so far is that the series is "coming soon," but by the look of this clip, it's going to be class.

We feel like we've been on an emotional Disney roller coaster these past few weeks with all of the Beauty and the Beast trailers hitting us.

But, the filmmakers have definitely kept the best 'til last.

In the final trailer for the upcoming remake of the fantasy flick, we finally get to hear John Legend and Ariana Grande's cover of Beauty and the Beast, and hell, do they do it justice.

Between all the new characters, all the new songs, yet the same, classic storyline, we can't wait until this movie hits our screens.

The flick is set for release on March 17, and we're going to be just as excited as the kids when it makes its debut.

In the past few years, celebrity dopplegangers have come out in force, with everyone from Kendall Jenner to Cara Delevinge having a mere mortal twin.

These 'stranger twins' will look a lot like the stars, but with different angles and proper lighting, it's clear to see that it's just a normal person who was graced with beautiful genes.

Jacky has the hairstyle down, the eye liner down and even sports the same body type as the singer.

We'll admit that Ariana Grande is a very hard working woman.

She's just about ready to go on her Dangerous Woman world tour and is also in the middle of recording a duet with John Legend for the remake of Beauty and the Beast.

However, her latest admission is causing a bit of a storm on social media.

Over the weekend, the songstress shared a picture of herself on the photo-sharing app and captioned it: "When you're cute but also the hardest working 23 year old human being on earth."

She also included the hashtags #CEO and #haventsleptinyears.

And her fans did not appreciate this. The comment section of the picture quickly filled up with people bashing Ariana for calling herself the "hardest working human being," and Twitter was no different:

Earlier this week Ariana Grande took to Twitter to draw attention to an incident which took place between herself and a male fan.

Recalling the exchange, the 23-year-old singer told Twitter that she felt 'sick and objectified' after the man referred to her in degrading manner while speaking to her DJ boyfriend Mac Miller.

In a lengthy post on social media, Ariana called on female fans to speak out against individuals who objectify them – something which didn't sit well with all of her followers

Responding to the post, a number of Twitter users suggested Ariana was guilty of 'hypocrisy' considering the outfits she wears on stage and in video shoots.

"Ariana Grande literally parades around mostly naked & then has the gall to complain about being objectified? Wow," wrote one of the singer's followers.

Refusing to ignore the criticism, the singer returned to Twitter to address the accusations, writing: "Seeing a lot of "but look how you portray yourself in videos and in your music! You're so sexual!" ….

"I repeat expressing sexuality in art is not an invitation for disrespect !!! just like wearing a short skirt is not asking for assault."

"Women's choice. our bodies, our clothing, our music, our personalities….. sexy, flirty, fun. it is not. an open. invitation," she hammered home in a post which has amassed 98,000 likes.

"You are literally saying that if we look a certain way, we are yours to take. But we are not!!! It's our right to express ourselves," she finished.

Supporting Ariana, a fan of the star agreed with her stance, writing: "Her body, her choice and she deserves to be respected no matter what."

Agreed.

In a heartfelt and lengthy post on Twitter today, Ariana Grande has urged her fanbase to consider the implications of remarks they make towards women after she endured an upsetting encounter with a male fan.

Explaining that she and her boyfriend, Mac Miller, had bumped into a fan while picking up some food, Ariana went on to reveal that the exchange turned sour when the fan made degrading comments about the popular singer.

"He was loud and excited and by the time M was seated in the driver's seat, he was literally almost in the car with us," Ariana recalled.

"I thought all of this was cute and exciting until he said 'Ariana is sexy as hell man. I see you, I see you hitting that!!!'"

"Hitting that? The f**k??" Ariana continued in the post which has racked up 130,000 likes.

"This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I felt sick and objectified. I was also sitting right there when he said it."

"It hurts my heart that so many young people are so comfortable using these phrases and objectifyin women with such ease," she wrote.

"I am not a piece of meat that a man gets to utilize for his pleasure. I'm an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect."

Urging women to speak out against such behaviour, Ariana continued: "We need to talk about these moments openly because they are harmful and they live on inside of us as shame."

"We need to share and be vocal when something makes up feel uncomfortable because if we don't, it will just continue. We are not objects or prizes. We are QUEENS."

Ariana's post has been inundated with support since its upload eight hours ago, with one fan writing: "I actually respect the hell out of you for using your platform to speak up."

"I don't know if anyone has told you recently but you're amazing, loved and very appreciated," added another.

The singer's post has been re-tweeted more than 60,000 times.
