She is one of the most exciting British artists of her generation. I am so pleased to welcome her to The BRITs stage and very much look forward to what will undoubtedly be one of the evenings many highlights."
The addition of Rita comes after it was announced that BRITs Critics’ Choice winner Jorja smith is set to duet with Rag’n’Bone Man.
