Stars from WWE made a surprise visit to an eight-year-old fan injured in the Manchester bombing.

Lily Harrison was treated in hospital for serious shrapnel wounds after the attack and while recovering at home in Manchester a group of WWE celebrities called in to say hello.

Lily, who shares her dad's love of wrestling, beamed as the NXT champion, Bobby Roode, led fellow stars including Mark Andrews and Nikki Cross, into her living room.

WWE Raw superstar Sasha Banks also spoke to Lily on FaceTime from the United States.

When they asked how she was feeling, she replied: "I felt sick a few minutes ago but now I don't!"

While recovering in hospital, Lily received a visit from Ariana Grande but the eight-year-old admitted feeling nervous meeting her wrestling idols.

Among many other gifts, she was presented with a wrestling title belt.

Out of respect for those affected by the atrocity, WWE cancelled the NXT event due to take place at Manchester Arena.

It has offered fans tickets for another event and is making a donation to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

Roode told Sky News: "We like to support people like Lily and all the people suffering from what happened over here in Manchester.

"It's always fun to see people smile."
