Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt in the popular soap, shared a number of photos to her Instagram page from the visit and wrote, 'My heart is so full. Thank you for having us ❤️'.

The 21-year-old later shared a touching message to her Twitter followers where she admitted the day made her realise how 'precious' life is.

Ariana also embarked on her biggest tour to date - the 'Dangerous Woman Tour' supporting her third album 'Dangerous Woman'. Devastatingly, her show at Manchester Arena on 22nd May 2017 ended with a horrific tragedy when a bomb killed 22 people and injured many others.

Following the terrible events of that night, messages of support for those affected poured in from around the world, including many from pop stars and celebrities.

Ariana, along with her team, worked quickly to put on a show that would bring everyone together at such a difficult time. Less than two weeks after the attack, the One Love Manchester benefit concert took place, with a line-up that included Katy Perry, Little Mix, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and many more artists - as well as Ariana herself.

It is being reported that One Love Manchester raised over £10 million, which will be donated to the We Love Manchester Fund.
