Today's guest was non-other than Sam Smith! He FaceTimed Big Top 40 Chart Show host, Will Manning, live from sunny Los Angeles, USA, to talk about his new single, which features Fifth Harmony band member Normani. It is called "Dancing with a Stranger".

He told the chart show host that he was at home over the festive period and has flown over to the sunny side to take a break from his on-going tour.
