As she joins Capital Radio's Roman and Love Island's Maya, Clara was quizzed on her 'gameplan'.
'I wouldn't name it a technique. It's the age-old factor of, you've just acquired to be your self,' she shared.
'I keep in mind saying to Roman, "I'm not going to be like Jack Whitehall or Mo [Gilligan] or James [Corden]." I like to have enjoyable and I could be humorous, however I know I'm not a comedian.
'Making an attempt to drive something you're naturally not, viewers are so savvy to that sort of factor.'
On the subject of the precise awards, anticipation is excessive, with the likes of Raye already anticipated to win huge thanks to her Mobo success.
She's acquired a nod within the huge class, album of the yr, alongside J Hus, Lil Simz, Blur, and Younger Fathers.
Track of the yr might go to Stormzy, who is nominated for Firebabe, whereas Billie Eilish's Barbie tune, What Was I Made For, is up for international music of the yr.
Whoever wins, it's sure to be an enormous night time for British music because of the performances lighting up the stage.
Recent off the Grammys stage, Dua Lipa will deal with us to a different bop session once again, whereas Aussie pop queen Kylie Minogue may even carry out.
Not everyone is thrilled concerning the nominations, nevertheless, as while Kylie might have been nominated for worldwide artist following her comeback with album Rigidity, sadly, her hit single Padam Padam didn't get a nod in the music class.&
