After winning a GRAMMY award earlier this year, Harriet was keen to discover how Dua is feeling ahead of The BRIT Awards 2021, where she's up for a massive three awards.
She said: "It's all really exciting. I just feel lucky that I get to like work during this time to be honest and to put on performances and that's just been like the highlight of everything that I've gotten the opportunity to do you know, go into rehearsals and plan something and get creative and think outside the box that's all been really fun."
As Dua has already won three BRIT Awards in the past, there's no surprise the 25-year-old is a massive fan of the show.
She told KISS Breakfast: "I mean, I don't know how it's gonna be this year, obviously. But it's definitely one of the very few award shows where people get to just sit around and knowing British people, it gets quite messy and it's loud. And it's fun.
"And it's you know, it really is just such a blast. So it isn't as noisy. I think I was watching before it was like the highlights of the Brits over the years. Like there was just everything was going down. You know, people were arguing, fights, throwing mics around, like there was just a lot of drama, and I just feel that that only happens with British people."
