Meanwhile, Harry also spoke out on the NBC morning show about his friendship with Lizzo after the pair were seen laughing and joking together at the Brit Awards last week.

"I just think she’s amazing, I think she’s such a great artist," Harry said.

"As a fan, what you want an artist to be is themselves, and I think she’s someone who is just herself and she makes amazing music and it’s really feel-good, and I think that’s what a lot of people need right now. I think she’s great."

When asked whether the pair might collaborate together in the future Harry answered: "Maybe!"
