Ariana Grande has revealed she turned to Miley Cyrus for advice after being branded a "diva" in the press.

The Problem singer has been forced to deny claims regarding her attitude, with Ariana confessing that she was "heartbroken" by the rumours.

She explained to The Mirror that she felt so upset by the accusations, that she called Mi-Cy for some much needed words of wisdom.

Grande said: "I was upset and I contacted Miley. I said, ‘Miley, I’m so sad – what do I do? This isn’t true. My heart is broken, I feel so bad.’

"She was like, ‘Girl, don’t even look at it. Just be happy that you’re blessed. You have family and friends love you, you have fans that love you who know what’s true and what’s not.’

‘It will blow over and tomorrow they’ll be talking about something else.’

“She lives for love and that’s something I do too. She has a beautiful spirit and she made me feel so much better.”

“But if you see a man doing that, you’re like, ‘He’s incredible, he’s an amazing businessman'."
