Ariana Grande cancels shows due to tomato allergy

Pop sensation Ariana Grande had to cancel two shows in her home state of Florida this week after having an allergic reaction to tomatoes.

The singer posted on social media to explain what happened. "I had an unfortunate allergic reaction to tomatoes and my throat pretty much closed," she said.

"Still feels like I'm swallowing a cactus but slowly making progress.

"There is NOTHING MORE UNFAIR THAN AN ITALIAN WOMAN DEVELOPING AN ALLERGY TO TOMATOES IN HER MID-TWENTIES."

The cancelled shows have been rescheduled to November.
