The winner will have the chance to host Bafta’s behind-the-scenes coverage at the British Academy Children’s Awards on November 20 at the Roundhouse in London.
They will be tasked with introducing and interviewing the award winners after they come off the stage.
Others on the panel include Officially Amazing’s Ben Shires, Into Film editorial manager Charlie Wainwright, CBBC presenter Katie Thistleton, Scrambled presenter London Hughes, First News editor Nicky Cox and The Evermoor Chronicles actress Georgia Lock.
