They bring their number one smash Symphony to the TOTP Christmas party.\n\nPop's hottest property and fans' favourite Dua Lipa performs her first number one single and huge summer smash New Rules. \n\nThis year has been the year that Rita Ora made a welcome return to pop music after her sorties into acting and TV presenting.
