She said: “When I was asked to perform at this year’s MOBO Awards, of course I was going to say yes. MOBO gave me my first break on TV in 2008, when I performed as a featured artist before I had even released a single.”

Ora, currently serving as a judge on the X Factor, is also among the acts up for awards at this year’s event.

Her video Body On Me, in collaboration with Chris Brown, is nominated for Best Music Video. Click the screen to watch it now.
