Selena Gomez has urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to donate all of the UK's surplus coronavirus vaccines to poorer countries

In response to the statement, Selena wrote on Twitter: ". @BorisJohnson , 5million doses by September is too little too late. You promised Britain would donate ALL its surplus vaccines. (sic)"

Selena - who has more than 64 million followers on the micro-blogging platform - subsequently urged her fans to voice their feelings through the Global Citizen website, which works towards ending extreme poverty around the world.

She wrote: "Ahead of the #G7 Summit in Cornwall, call on the PM to help meet 1B doses @glblctzn : http://glblctzn.me/selena (sic)"

In April, Selena called on world leaders to "help everyone around the world fight the COVID-19 pandemic".

The pop star reached out to the likes of Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, and other members of the G7 - the heads of government from Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US - via social media, urging them to unite against coronavirus.

She wrote on Twitter at the time: "Please join me and send a message to France’s @EmmanuelMacron and other #G7 leaders asking them to pledge dollars or doses to help everyone around the world fight the COVID-19 pandemic. #VaxLive (sic)"

Selena also called on vaccine developers to provide it on a "not-for-profit" basis to some of the most in-need countries.

The 'Lose You to Love Me' hitmaker explained: ". @moderna_tx & @NoubarAfeyan , thanks for developing a vaccine for COVID-19 but we need your help to get it to everyone, everywhere. Will you follow others in providing it not-for-profit for the countries most in need? #vaxlive (sic)"
