Phillip Schofield also praised the show, writing: "Well that was about as feel good and fun as it gets and @Dawn_French couldn't be more perfect for @LilBigShotsUK." Dawn had joined Phillip and Holly Willoughby on This Morning on Wednesday to chat about the show, and Holly revealed how excited she was to tune in. "It's so brilliant to watch… I'm in already I can't wait to watch it," she said. Dawn revealed that she was worried about being a presenter, saying: "I was a bit nervous about doing this because I know presenting is a proper skill and it's not one I'm particularly experienced at, but when I saw what they did with the show in America, I saw how completely innocent and delightful it is."

The star also shocked viewers when she revealed that she is almost 60-years-old. "I'm 60 this year," she revealed "How did that happen? Because when I was a kid, you know I used to look at people who were 60 and just think, you should just really die... because what is the point of you now? When I was little, that's what I used to think about people who were 60. I did – and now I'm that person! Sixty doesn't feel like anything, it feels just like I was 40 or whatever."
