Award winning actress and comedienne Dawn French is to host Little Big Shots, a brand new series on ITV based on the hit US format.

Little Big Shots shines the spotlight on some of the world's most talented children. With no prizes at stake, no winners or losers and no competition, this programme is simply a showcase for 3 to 13 year olds to take to the stage and show that you don't have to be a grown-up to be a star performer.

The centrepiece of the programme is an enormous revolving stage. On one side is a sofa for Dawn and the pint size prodigies to get to know each other; and on the other is the all-important performance space, which is as versatile as the variety of talent on offer.

Each show will unveil aspiring young acts from the UK and around the world, with talents that range from black belt karate champions to classical music masters and miniature chefs. There are tiny dancers, young soul sensations, audacious scooter stuntkids and spelling bee specialists who are only just out of nursery.

Prepare to amazed, astounded and awe inspired, as these wonderful Little Big Shots take to the stage and reveal their extraordinary talent and skills.
