Harry Hill has confessed his new role as the host of ‘Junior Bake Off’ made him "more nervous" than any other show.
The 55-year-old comedian – who has narrated ‘You’ve Been Framed!’ since 2004 – found it tough asking a tent of nine to fifteen-year-old aspiring bakers questions about a subject he "didn’t know anything about".
Harry told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "I was very nervous. It’s 10 kids and you have to talk to them and ask them about stuff that I don’t know anything about.
"I was more nervous than my other TV shows as I work with a script normally.
"But I got a lot out of it as well. And I started to relax when I watched it back.
"It dawned on me how to play it. Plus, there were a couple of children who really made me laugh."
The former ‘TV Burp’ host signed up for the celebrity edition of ‘Bake Off’ last year for Stand Up 2 Cancer, and he is set to reunite with judge Prue Leith, and former contestant Liam Charles, who will judge the contestants.
But Harry may have bitten off more than he could chew after sending kids home in floods of tears.
He added: "That was the part I didn’t like and why I don’t do these sort of shows.
"That sort of thing of having to say. ‘You are going home’.
"I didn’t have any choice on who was. The difficulty is in the way you do it as there are so many clichés and I was trying to avoid that.
"The tears from a child aren’t the same as an adult, so they could be crying one minute and laughing and skipping the next."
