Another tweet read: "I thought Ariana Grande was wrong to fly off after #ManchesterAttack. But tonight she's putting on a fabulous show." He also praised the 23-year-old's vocals: "I'll say this too about @ArianaGrande – she has a cracking voice. By far the best vocal performance tonight…"

Piers had previously condemned Ariana for not personally visiting the victims of the terror attack. She did subsequently spend time with survivors at a Manchester hospital ahead of Sunday's benefit concert, which helped to raise millions in donations. In his original message, Piers had said: "If the Queen can visit the victims in hospital, so can the star they paid to see." He added: "I expected her to stay, visit & comfort her wounded fans & relatives of those who died."
