Check out how the entertainment world reacted after Joe Biden was confirmed to be the next President of the United States.

Joe Biden has defeated incumbent Donald Trump to win the US election and become the 46th President of the United States.

The news followed a protracted, four-day process as an unprecedented number of postal votes were counted in swing states around the country, with a projected Biden victory in Pennsylvania finally getting him over the line.
