Top of the Pops' Christmas line-up revealed, including Rita Ora, Jess Glynne, George Ezra and Clean Bandit

Top of the Pops is returning over the Christmas period, with 25 chart stars of 2018 performing on the iconic TV show.

Fearne Cotton and Clara Amfo will return as hosts for the two one-hour specials, which will air on Christmas Day and Saturday December 29.

Jess Glynne will perform on both festive editions after having arguably the biggest 2018 of any British popstar. Jess claimed two Number 1s on the Official Singles Chart this year, and also hit the top spot on the Official Albums Chart with her sophomore LP Always In Between. In capturing her seventh Official UK Number 1, Jess now boasts more chart-topping hits than any other solo British female in history.

After becoming the first British female to claim nine Top 5 hits, Rita Ora is returning to Top of the Pops for the second consecutive year, while Anne-Marie is also back following her debut album Speak Your Mind becoming the biggest debut release of 2018.
