“It’s the show where I get to hang out with incredibly talented children from all over the world, making new friends on the sofa each week,” she said.

“I will never forget Balang from the Philippines, who had me in fits of giggles while teaching me a move or two, or Thomas who sang David Bowie’s Space Oddity so beautifully. In our crazy upside down world, it is great to make a show that is just so positive.”
