ARIANA GRANDE AT THE BBC

BBC1, 8pm

FROM dealing with anxiety and the weight of fame, to texting Madonna and working with Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande has plenty to talk about in this one-off special.

Davina McCall interviews the 25-yearold American megastar, who filmed this while in London last month in front of a live studio audience made up of over-excited, whooping fans.

The multi-award winning, Grammynomi­nated singer exclusivel­y performs new material from her recent album Sweetener, as well as some of her biggest hits such as Dangerous Woman and One Last Time, accompanie­d by an all-female orchestra.

The show also visits Manchester, speaking to locals about the aftermath of the terrorist attack at Ariana’s Manchester Arena gig and her One Love concert.

And Ariana opens up about her life and career to date, talking about her fans, her celebrity collaborat­ions and dealing with mental health issues.

She says: “You have your ups and downs but you have to remember that you’re not alone.”
