Dua’s comments were in relation to Wednesday’s entertainment segment on the Today show that saw Richard insinuating that the artist appeared on the US talk show despite having cancelled her Australian tour dates with Bruno Mars.

Richard told viewers: ‘Now get this, she was supposed to be here in Australia opening up for Bruno Mars on his 24K world tour but Dua Lipa cancelled her appearances last weekend and this one as a result of having to have immediate surgery to have her wisdom teeth removed.

‘But get this, here she is last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live…’ Richard continued, alongside a short clip of the performance.
