"I feel like it\'s about not patronising them, so just saying: \'Take a breath, you\'re brilliant.\'

"It\'s about encouragement, it\'s not about drawing attention to it because kids are really aware of embarrassment and stuff, probably as much as adults would be.

"It\'s not supposed to be a defining moment for any of them. I wouldn\'t do a show that was giving that pressure to kids."
