Tomorrow night, Emile Gooding, an 11-year-old from Earley, will appear on the second episode of Dawn French’s new ITV show Little Big Shots.

Here is the link to the ITV player catch up page for Little Big Shots

http://www.itv.com/hub/little-big-shots/2a4790a0002

This is the episode that featured Emile (he danced right at the end of the show) but it looks like you have to sign in to watch the catch up version.

Emile was interviewed by Dawn French and then did a beautiful contemporary dance to close the show. There was no mention of Billy Elliot though, he only talked about Matilda and the National Ballet, so I'm assuming this was filmed before he started in Billy or during a period when he wasn't allowed to talk about it.

Photo angles can be deceptive but I think you're right because Emile looks bigger than that now. I'd also be inclined to the view that had he been Billy at the time it would have had to have been mentioned for publicity sake and as it is his biggest ever role by a country mile.

I have it on good authority that the six episodes of Little Big Shots were filmed at Elstree in October and November 2016. I don't know when Emile started in BETM though.

Emile started 25th November so that explains it. He has grown a bit since Oct/Nov. If he was one of the first that could be 5 months ago.

Emile will be taking to the stage as Freddie, the mischievous younger brother of Clara, who finds herself journeying through a magical world with a Nutcracker doll — a present given to her by a family friend on Christmas Eve.

For his part, Emile is no stranger to performing on big stages. He played the title role in Billy Elliot in the UK tour of the hit West End musical and performed with the English National Ballet in Swan Lake.

On Billy Elliot the musical face book page is an announcement that Emile has been accepted into the Royal Ballet School.
There is also a link to his performance last year on

He is an amazing dancer, I have not seen any comment elsewhere, but congratulations to him

Here is an interview of him on the Little Big Shots tv program, by Dawn French.
