Stars including Scarlett Moffatt, Piers Morgan and Gary Lineker have reacted in sadness, anger and defiance at the apparent terrorist attack in Finsbury Park.

One person was killed and a further 10 were injured after a driver ploughed a van into a group of Muslim worshippers in north London, in the early hours of Monday (19 June) morning.

They had been leaving the Muslim Welfare House on Seven Sisters Road, after midnight prayers during Ramadan, when they were struck by a 48-year-old man driving the van, who was arrested at the scene.

After the news broke, big names from the entertainment world shared their thoughts and condolences on social media:

I truly believe nothing will divide London it doesn't matter how hard people try. My heart goes out to everybody affected ❤️ #London

Islamophobic extremist terrorism is as disgusting as Islamist extremist terrorism & must be treated as such. #FinsburyParkTerrorAttack

Another day, another senseless, hateful attack on the innocent. Let's hope we don't allow society's rotten eggs to tear us apart.

Something is rotten in the state of Britain. Those poor people, living peaceful lives to be attacked after prayer. Disgusting.

I'm shocked by the terror attack in #FinsburyPark. Extremists have no place in society & must be treated equally by the media & authorities.

Prime Minister Theresa May has since said police are treating the incident as “a potential terrorist attack”.
