This could get awkward! Scantily-clad Ariana Grande sexes up Summertime Ball… as she risks run ins with ex Nathan Sykes and ‘love interest’ Niall Horan
She was one of the biggest names to grace the stage at the annual Capital FM Summertime Ball on Saturday.
But it wasn’t only Ariana Grande’s sexy stage costume wasn’t the only aspect of her appearance which raised eyebrows.
The singer, who arrived later than most of her the other performers, risked a backstage run-in with two famous men in her life, both past and present.

The concert’s line-up included former The Wanted star Nathan Sykes, who dated Ariana in 2013, and One Direction’s Niall Horan, who was linked to the Boom Boom hitmaker just this week.
Both Nathan and Niall were billed to take to the stage before the singer, narrowly missing a run-in on the red carpet.
While her intense four-month romance with Nathan fizzled out some while ago, Ariana, 21, addressed rumours of a romance with Irish heartthrob Niall on her way into the event.
Skirting around the question of whether the pair were dating, she told the Mirror: ‘Well, that’s just society. She must be pregnant, she must be expecting twins! But he’s really nice.

The duo was first linked when Ariana was seen leaving Niall’s Hertfordshire mansion last week after a night out in London.
Niall – who recently split from Australian student Melissa Whitelawwas – was also spotted visiting her at a central London hotel just hours later.
