One user said: "First Madonna being dragged off the stage by a cape and now Anne-Marie destroying her ankle, I beg for someone to ban stairs at the Brit awards #BRITs #AnneMarie."

Debbie said: "Urgent memo to #thebrits - BAN STEPS (not the group, the structure). Did Madonna teach you nothing? Respect to Anne Marie for styling that out. I’ll say it again, NO STEPS/CAPES at the Brits! Ever."

Gem said: "Okay who is in charge of risk assessing the performances at the #brits2022? They need to ban stairs already. Another one down… @AnneMarie @Madonna."

But Anne-Marie seems to have taken her tumble in her stride as she issued an update to fans once she was safely off-stage.

She Tweeted : "Didn’t need my left ankle anyway."

Fans were quick to support the singer and praised her for the way that she styled it out.

Others were concerned for her and were surprised that she wasn't hurt.

Optician giant's Specsavers were quick to poke fun at the singer as they said: "Your next visit’s on us x"

Anne-Marie jokingly replied as she said: "I’ll be in touch."

Another Twitter user also aimed jokes at the star as they created an account named 'Anne-Marie's ankle' and shared a post from it, which said: "Wow. Bit shaken up but I’m ok. Bit bruised but with a bit of ice should be fine xxx"

Anne-Marie thought it was hilarious as she shared the post and wrote: "I am dead."
