'I almost died': Ariana Grande has revealed her act has landed her in serious jeopardy before, as the singer revealed she 'almost died' making an entrance at one of her gigs

Appearing on the show alongside actor Will Arnett and comedian Jimmy Carr, the group were asked about stage mishaps - and Ariana certainly had one to remember. 

Speaking about the incident on her Honeymoon tour, Ariana explains that the incident happened when she was using a rising platform to make an entrance, but on the opening night in February 2015 something went drastically wrong.

'Opening night of my Honeymoon tour I almost died,' she explained. 'For real, I'm not exaggerating. I usually exaggerate but I'm not.'

Painting quite the picture the former child star went on explaining she was going to appear thanks to 'one of those toaster things' which pop a person up and onto the stage.

However just as she was starting to sing the opening seconds of her hit Love Me Harder, something unexpected happened when the wooden plank she was on was sent flying upwards by a rope snapping.

She said: 'The thing was still going up so I was being pushed against the stage, and it was some Indiana Jones s*** and it was really scary.

'I had to superman myself out of the thing, and my guitar guy helped me get out and then I went on stage a different way. It was really scary.'

Clearly slightly shocked by the near-death experience Ariana had just rattled off so nonchalantly, a shocked Alan exclaims: 'But you nearly died!'

However Jimmy appears to be enthralled with the tale, chipping in: 'It sounds like you were in the trash compacter in Star Wars.'

To which an excited Ariana exclaims: 'Yes, yes! I was Carrie Fisher in the trash compactor.'

The singer's appearance on the Channel 4 chat show comes hot on the heels of her latest single Dangerous Woman, which sees the singer embrace a racier side of her personality.

In an interview on Radio 1 earlier in the week she delved into the inspiration for the unusual video, which sees her don a racy latex bunny outfit, she said the song make the singer feel like a 'black latex super-bunny woman'.

Speaking to host Nick Grimshaw, she said: 'We are doing something weird. We are doing two visuals because this song makes me feel two kinds of ways.

'It makes me feel sexy and glamourous and I wanted to do a simpler more glam-themed video. And then I wanted to do another video because it makes me feel also kind of like a super version of myself.'

'It makes me feel like inside me is a black latex super-bunny woman,' she went on to reveal. 'So there is a simple approach and a weirder more cinematic conceptual bizarre video.'

The rest of Ariana's interview can be caught on Alan Carr: Chatty Man, which airs on Thursday March 31 on Channel 4 at 10pm.

She's getting married, her latest TV project has been a hit; things are looking good for Michelle Keegan.

The former Corrie star put on a leggy display as she appears on Alan Carr's Chatty Man, airing on Friday night on Channel 4, talking about the wedding, her hen and her new show, Ordinary Lies.

Michelle arrived on Alan's sofa showing off her enviable figure in an orange print mini-dress, as she sat down to chat.

Leggy beauty: Michelle Keegan showed off her tanned pins in an orange dress as she appeared on Alan Carr's Chatty Man

She wore a high-necked shift with a slightly fitted waist and a zip running down the front with cute pocket details.

The combination of the shape, the thigh skimming hemline and the bright print, gave a distinctly sixties vibe to the look.

Although she mixed up the decades when it came to her shoes which were a seventies-style pair of metallic blue sandals.

Michelle was looking bronzed as ever, with her recent role in Ordinary Lies, filmed in the Dominican Republic, no doubt helping her top up the tan.

Laid back bride: Michelle told Alan how much she's been enjoying planning her wedding

Speaking about the show, which has been a hit with the critics, she said, 'With the script when I got Ordinary Lies I knew this was the job I wanted. 

'I knew there was a lot of pressure from people watching what I was going to do next after Corrie so I wanted to do like, the right job. I felt at the time that was the right thing to do.'

She went on to discuss her impending wedding to former TOWIE star Mark Wright which is finally taking shape after such a long engagement.

She said, 'I’m really chilled about everything to be fair, so I’ve been really relaxed. I knew I would be like that anyway but I’ve really enjoyed it.' 

'cling-filmmed to a lamp post': There are some interesting ideas for Michelle's hen night

The right show: Michelle waited to find the exact right move for after Coronation Street and is thrilled with Ordinary Lies

Another thing that Michelle gets out of having such an extended period of engagement is two hen parties.

She's had a 'pre-hen' of dinner with friends but admitted that the big one could get out of hand.

Answering Alan's question, 'Are you going to have one of those raucous ones where you end up cling filmed to a lamppost naked?' She said, 'probably, with my mates that will probably happen as well!' 

Joining Michelle on the sofa was US actor Elijah Wood and Harry Potter star Warwick Davis.

Another day; another revealing outfit for Rita Ora.

The singer appeared on Alan Carr's Chatty Man, airing on Friday night on Channel 4, in a very low cut silver crop top and found herself more than a little exposed.

Even the host of the show had to comment to his guest: 'Even I'm looking at your breasts!'

Racy Rita! Rita Ora chose a typically revealing outfit for her appearance on Alan Carr's Chatty Man

The singer was forced to readjust her assets as she sat with her fellow The Voice mentors and told Alan, 'Every time I come on this show it’s something to do with my outfit.

'I didn’t know if I wanted to wear a bikini or a suit so I wore both.'

Rita's outfit was certainly a combination look, or a 'suitkini' as Will.i.am ventured.

Wardrobe malfunction! Rita nearly spilled out of the side of her silver crop top

The Adidas collaborator was wearing a jacket with only one arm and a double breasted fastening at the waist. 

The left had side however was bare and showed off her space age metallic halter-neck. 

She matched it with a pair of high waisted black suit trousers and very heavy black and silver smoky eyes.

A 'suitkini': She said she couldn't decide between wearing a suit or a bikini

The rest of her make-up was very simple with an even base, strong brows and a nude lip.

Her hair looked almost silver as well as she styled in in a swept back tousled quiff. 

The conversation about her fashion choices continued as Alan asked her about that very sheer dress she chose for the Oscars.

While she claimed she had no idea the gown was so see-through, she also commented that, if she's going to show off a lot of herself on the red carpet, now is the time in her life when she should.

'Even I'm looking at your breasts!': Alan Carr had to comment on her very low cut top

She explained, 'I swear I didn’t think it was going to be that see through when I put it on. I don’t have a pretend flash camera.'

Adding, 'If you’re not going to do it now when would you do it?'

Speaking about The Voice, the other mentors spoke up with a few words about the show.

Silver and black styling: She added black and metallic smoky eyes to her similarly two toned outfit

Ricky Wilson appeared to damn the show with faint praise, saying, 'They’re not there just to be famous, that’s why they come on The Voice. Sorry. Sorry producers at The Voice. 

'All mine from last year, I’m in touch with all of them and they are all doing much better than before they came on the show. 

'There’s a sliding scale, that doesn’t mean they’re all Beyoncé or Chris Martin but they’re still having their career in music.'

Now's the time: Rita claims that this is the time when she should be taking risks with her clothes

Meanwhile, also joining Alan on the sofa was Steph and Dom from the Channel 4 hit Gogglebox.

The B&B owners shared their opinions on the controversial Jeremy Clarkson story and even brought their little sausage dog onto the sofa.

Dom told Alan, 'We’re actually big fans of him. I’d put him up for Prime Minister. I think he’d sort out an awful lot of problems. 

Other side of the sofa: Steph and Dom spoke about their excitement for their upcoming chat show

Cheers! Antonio Banderas enjoyed a tipple from his generous host

'It would be a radical move but it could sort out some issues. I don’t think he is the kind of guy that would punch someone who didn’t deserve it. He doesn’t strike me as the kind of person that goes around punching people for fun. I don’t know we weren’t there. We don’t know.

To which his wife simply added, 'I suspect he is a probably a fine man and his mother loves him.'

Also appearing on the show was actor Antonio Banderas who spoke about having the first gay kiss in Spanish cinema history.

'My mother was going to kill me!' He explained that he had given his mum no warning about the scenes

Abbey Clancy dresses up as Miley Cyrus in that infamous outfit for Alan Carr's TV special

Abbey New Year! Abbey Clancy dresses up as Miley Cyrus in THAT infamous outfit for Alan Carr's TV special

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

PUBLISHED: 00:13, 31 December 2013 | UPDATED: 00:32, 31 December 2013

It is perhaps the most infamous outfit worn by a woman in 2013.

So it's little surprise that Miley Cyrus' notorious VMA outfit has been immortalised by a comedy sketch thanks to Alan Carr's forthcoming New Year special on Channel 4.

Strictly Come Dancing winner Abbey Clancy wears a full-length 'Miley-suit' as part of Tuesday's episode, which recaps cultural highlights from the past year.  

Abby Clancy joins James Corden, Sean Walsh and Ben Cohen for fun on Alan Carr's TV special for 2013

The episode's stunt is part of a game called The Great British Twerk Off, which sees Alan dress as Robin Thicke in the Blurred Lines video.

Alongside Abbey, his guests - including Keith Lemon and Ben Cohen - are then split into rival teams of two people, each dressing as either Robin or Miley. 

Each 'Robin' is stood behind an oversized cut-out of Robin Thicke’s crotch, which features a photo of a celebrity whose face is masked by ice cream. Each 'Miley' must remove the ice cream by twerking it off. The first team to correctly guess the celeb’s face wins. 

Appropriately, they were joined by the UK’s first-ever twerking solo champion, Mizz Versatile, who comes on to the stage to give a twerking demonstration - not that Abbey needs any practice, of course.

Suits you: Abbey even sports a foam finger as part of her so-called 'Miley-suit'

The comedy quiz comes just days after she was crowned the winner of this year's Strictly Come Dancing, beating Natalie Gumede, Susanna Reid and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

More than six million people watched her win the Glitterball trophy after weeks of arduous training and liver performances.

But Miley's notorious VMA dance was less successful - instead sparking global castigation.

Not only did she wear a skin-tight, nude bra set, but she also danced provocatively against Robin Thicke and used a foam finger as a phallic object.

Does my bum look big in this? Abbey sees the funny side in her outfit for the show

The incident, which was watched by a global audience of more than 100 million, has since become a cultural reference point of 2013.

More recently, in an interview with the Today Show, Miley revealed that she'll continue her 'sexual' performances to at least 40 years of age.

'Probably around 40, I heard that's when people don't have sex any more. So I guess maybe around then,' the star said.

They shocked their fans and fellow music industry stalwarts alike when they announced their surprise split earlier this week. 

And Oritsé Williams showed just how emotional he was about JLS coming to an end when he broke down in tears during an appearance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man on Wednesday evening.

Emotions running high: Oritsé Williams broke down in tears as he discussed the JLS shock split during an appearance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man on Wednesday evening

JB Gill explained to show host Alan Carr: 'It’s Ortise’s baby effectively, you know. He brought us together.'

As the star struggled to contain his emotions, Marvin elaborated: 'It’s an emotional decision. We’re best friends, we’re brothers, the bond between us is indescribable. 

'We’ve been through so much since we first came together and no one would have dreamed what we achieved could be possible, and of course for it to all end was a massively emotional decision, and it wasn’t one that was taken lightly.

Parting ways: The 26-year-old singer was comforted by his bandmate, Marvin Humes, as he struggled to contain his emotions

'Best friends': The boys admitted the decision to part ways after six years together wasn't one that was taken lightly

'We've had an incredible career for five years and we want to see it as a celebration that we’ve achieved so much. We wanted to go out on top and not be that act where people are like, "Oh bloody hell, it’s JLS again".'

Marvin - who is expecting his first child with The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes - explained the boys faced a series of agonising decisions over the past few months, but decided they were keen to 'go out with a bang'.

He added: 'We started in 2007, the last six years has been all of our wildest dreams come true. We never wanted to overstay our welcome in the industry, Alan.

Reflective: Oritse seemed to be particularly sombre as he discussed the split with Chatty Man host, Alan Carr

Chart-toppers: JLS admitted they are keen to bow out of the music industry while they are still at the top of their game

'We wanted to bow out at the top, and I think that we’ve got a massive tour at the end of the year, and we wanted to do that; remain friends, finish at the top and go out with a bang really.'

Oritse - who was the brainchild behind the band - admitted he became particularly emotional when he saw the impact the shock split had on the group's devastated fans as they arrived at the Channel 4 studios earlier in the day. 

He said: 'Emotions are running high - it’s only because I saw the fans literally as we were coming in to see you and just seeing them cry and seeing them upset really evoked that emotion in me.

Emotional: The group were met by scores of devastated fans as they arrived to film their appearance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man on Wednesday

'But you know, it is a celebration, at the end of the day we’ve had an amazing six years together, we’ve been on a journey. Nobody else may have seen the hard times as well as the good times, but we’re the luckiest four boys in the world.'

Explaining they are still 'like a family', the boys told Chatty Man host Alan the time had come for them to focus on individual projectd.

JB said: 'We are a band but it’s like family and in a family you grow up, the teenagers go off to college, they do their own thing, they might move house.

Charity work: Aston, JB and Louis Smith launch a charity initiative for Rays of Sunshine that grants wishes for seriously ill children in the UK on Thursday

Still involved: Despite splitting up, the band will continue to use their celebrity to do good 

JLS update: Aston and JB visit seriously ill children

'We all live in similar areas and we’ll always have that bond, but it’s definitely time for us just to move on and I suppose be independent.'

After coming second to Alexandra Burke on The X Factor back in 2009, JLS went on to sell more than 10 million records, enjoying ten Top 10 hits, including five number one singles.

They also won numerous awards, including two Brit Awards for British Breakthough and British Single in 2010.

In addition to their music careers, JLS put their name to a range of merchandise, including dolls, perfume and even condoms.
