I don’t have a tangible skill ... but I can move my eyes independen­tly

FANTASTIC. My in-laws love it. What I really like about it is that it’s old-fashioned family viewing.

It’s got kids in it, but it’s not a kids-only show. It’s for everyone.

Quite a lot of what I do divides people. Some like it, some don’t.

That’s fine, but this, everyone seems to love it. I DIDN’T really ever have a proper, well honed talent! I did a bit of dancing. I certainly couldn’t sing, but thought I could, so perhaps that.

What would I do now? Hmm. I haven’t actually got a tangible skill.

It’s a bit shocking. Well, I can move my eyes independen­tly. It is a bit of an odd thing and I’ve been able to do it ever since I was very little.

I think for a while my parents might have thought I was possessed. But I can do it. A BIG attraction for me was that you are not promising these kids they are going to be big stars, there’s no prizing or judging or horrible critiques or anything like that.

Everybody understand­s that, for that one little moment, they get to shine, doing the thing that they love doing.
