ITV Starstruck Jason Manford's amazing Arena bombing suit tribute that made viewers 'want to cry'

Comedy star and ITV Starstruck judge Jason Manford has revealed the touching message behind his incredible bee-embellished suit on the hit Saturday night music show - and it has got viewers quite emotional.

Jason is on the all-star panel of the ITV singing show - alongside Sheridan Smith, Beverley Knight and Adam Lambert - where tribute acts to huge music stars compete to be the best soundalikes.

On Saturday night's show Jason wore a stylish black suit that was embellished with 22 bees and he confirmed after the show that he had the suit especially designed as a tribute to the 22 men, women and children who lost their lives at the terrorist bombing at Manchester Arena after Ariana Grande's gig in May 2017.
