Bolton boxer Amir Khan has spoken out following the terror attack which claimed the lives of 22 people at a pop concert.

The sportsman appeared on Good Morning Britain today, in the wake of the terrorist atrocity at Manchester Arena on Monday night after Ariana Grande’s gig.

He condemned the horrific attack and said it is “twisting Islam”.

Speaking to Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan, he said: “We all need to stick together, we are going through such a tough time now.”

He added: “It scares you. I’m a Muslim myself and I never want to be looked at... if I go on the bus or the train with somebody, I don’t want them looking at me saying, we don’t want to be on the same train as you.”

When asked if that had ever happened to him, he replied: “Not to me but it’s happened to a couple of my friends.”

He also admits he is 'scared' of anti-Muslim attitudes towards his two-year-old daughter, Lamaisah, after the suicide bomb attack.

He said: “It definitely worries me because, at the end of the day, I’ve got my little girl and you can just see as time goes on it’s only getting worse and worse.

“And it worries me one day when she goes to school, people are going to be pointing a finger at her and thinking you’re Muslim and it gives all Muslims a bad name.”

Twenty-two people died and 59 people were injured when Salman Abedi, aged 22, detonated a homemade device packed with nuts and bolts in the arena’s foyer as thousands of young people left a concert by the US pop star.

Khan said: "‘This is totally against our religion, if these people are saying that they’re doing it because of Islam, I do not believe that’s true… they’re twisting Islam."
