Oh, lovely. It was Right Said Rita.

(laughter)

Well, there she was, very sexy.

I think I needed your hat, though.
But maybe next time.

- I need your legs. Whoo!
- Yeah, right? It would've gone really well.

Yeah. So, Charli, in my
opinion, Rita did her thing.

What did you think about her
performance? What do you think?

(sighs) I'm not gonna lie.
It was really good.

- (Boy George laughs)
- (cheering)

I'm scared now, 'cause I was
like talking the talk backstage,

and now you came with your
bum cheeks, and I've...

- I'm in jeans. Error one.
- When in doubt, get it out.

- CHARLI: Okay.
- (cheering)

Yeah. All right, Rita, you can
go on over to the VIP.

- All right. Thank you!
- (cheering)

Charli, it's time for you to
exact some revenge over here.

You gotta exact some revenge!

- I'm scared!
- Okay, so the floor is yours.

- What... what song are you giving to the people?
- Whoo!

Okay, I'm gonna do a little song by...

they're actually an Irish
band called B-Witched,

- BOY GEORGE: Oh!
- (Chrissy screaming)

- Yes! That was the perfect reaction!
- Yes!

You're having a fashion
moment over there.

This look's chic.

You look like the queen had
a really good night out.

Thank you! Yeah!

- (laughs)
- (cheering)

I'm thinking you look like one of the
bell. You look amazing. I love it.

(laughter)

All right, Charli, you can
head over to the VIP.

(pop music playing)

All right, the prince in the building,

and this battle will not be
settled over tea and crumpets.

All agree it is shaping up
to be quite the night.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, LSB returns,

and Charli XCX is ready to blast off

and go next level! She knows she's
got a competition on her hands,

but by the look of things backstage,

she's ready to drop the prim and proper

to get down and dirty. Let's see
how she plans to take it to Rita.

(cheering)

- (deep exhale)
- (dance music plays)

I feel nervous...

- Oh, God. Okay.
- There is no wrong.

...but confident
that I am gonna slay Rita.

Me and Rita are actually
really good friends,

so this competition's gonna run deep.
I have to beat her.

You guys are crushing it.

- You're gonna crush it.
- Real pros. Excellent.

I feel like it's really important
for the UK that I win,

just because I'm a national treasure

and Rita, she's not so well known.

I will never ever let Rita
live this down if she loses.

- If you win, I'll never hear the end of it.
- No, you won't.

No way.

See, Charli XCXS?

Ed Sheeran. I never thought
I'd be so turned on

by... by Charli in a...
in a small red wig.

- (laughter)
- I kinda wanna keep it.

It's good. I like it. I get it.

LL: I love it. Boy George!

I've never seen Ed do those
sorts of moves, though.

Now I'm gonna feel cheated
when I go and see him.

He needs to dance like you.
It was amazing.

- (cheering)
- (LL laughs)

Yeah, that was serious. That was
some nice little moves there.

- Rita?
- Yo! I mean, I can't...

even if you didn't have a mic
or if you had a mic,

I'm gonna drop it for you,
'cause that was fire.

- (thuds)
- (cheering)

(bell dings)

- So, Charli...
- Yeah?

...that was... that was cool.
That was sexy.

- Thank you. Thank you.
- I'm so jealous.

Yeah, I wanna win. I'm here to win,

you know, so...

LL: Yeah. So you... you
head on over to the VIP.

- Okay.
- Hang out.

("Shape of You" playing)

Charli knocked it out big time!

Yeah!

And when we return, we'll see
what tricks Rita's got up her sleeve.

London's calling, and this battle is on.

Lip Sync Battle is back, and we got
Boy George behind the one and twos

for this special
British Invasion episode!

Rita Ora is up next,
and this triple-threat

is ready to show she's all
about that Lip Sync Life.

Let's see how she plans
to take it to Charli.

- Oh, woo!
- (cheering)

Ready to lip sync!

(bleeps) I have to win.

MAN: We got... we got it, girl.

Like, can someone just tell me
what the (bleeps) is going on?

I mean, if they expect
Brits to be polite,

they're gonna be
pretty (bleeps) let down.

This stage looks so amaze.

- (bleeps)
- (laughs)

- All right, yeah.
- (mimics gunfire)

I love it, 'cause it's, like, Charli,
so we've known each other forever.

- You know what I think's the funniest part?
- What?

- This might be the test of our friendship.
- I know.

I kinda feel like she's gonna win, which
is why I'm being so cocky about it.

Two Brits abroad.

- Brits abroad!
- Brits abroad!

Good luck. You're probably gonna win,

and I'm probably never
gonna forgive myself.

Let the embarrassment begin!

Like, a Spice Girls classic,
what was it like?

It was the first concert I ever
went to in my entire life. Yeah.

(cheering)

And I just... and I
remember, like, literally,

waiting outside to try and get a ticket,

- and, like, it was crazy.
- I have definitely cried to "2 Become 1."

Did you?

I have a feeling LL has
never heard "2 Become 1."

Oh, nah, nah, that's my go-to.
That's my go-to tune.

So, Boy George, now,
you've been deejaying

these massive parties
all over the place.

You ever slide in a little Spice Girls

after some funk or some
pop just to mix it up?

When everyone's really drunk
at the end of the night,

I'll slip in the Spice Girls. Yeah.

(cheering)

But only the jungle remix.

LL: All right.

Well, Rita Spice, you can
