The Black Eyed Peas star was first to pitch and said: ‘I remember you from 2008, we met. You were one of the artists who was getting the millions of views online. You were freaking awesome, that was a great job. You did something magical. Congratulations!'
'I know you worked with Justin Timberlake. I thought it can’t be her but then I turned around and it was you,’ Rita, 24, explained.
‘I’m at a disadvantage because my two colleagues know you,’ confessed Tom. 'I really enjoyed what you did, you sounded fresh and that’s what I heard.’
