Kate spoke to the young girls, aged two to six, as they prepared to perform onstage in ballet tutus and crowns.   

‘Hello girls welcome to the stage,’ Kate cooed. ‘Is this all of you? We’re just starting with the four of you?’ 

As the girls danced alongside their fathers, to the sweet surprise of the studio audience, Kate was blown away.

The TV star later told the act how impressed she was with them, saying: ‘That was absolutely beautiful, thank you for filling our hearts.’ 

The children’s author then joked with the girls about the surprise: ‘You girls are very cheeky as you kept a very big secret. 

‘We didn’t expect all of these handsome dads to come out on stage. It must be lovely to be up there with your beautiful daughters.’

Kate looked calm and composed as she sat on the judging panel for the first time after admitting she was ‘nervous’ about the role.

The star has had a tumultuous time of late after being caught low-range drink driving in August.   

Kate was stopped by police for a random breath test in her blue Subaru station wagon at 2.45pm on Heffron Rd in Pagewood in August.

Ritchie tested positive by the roadside and was immediately arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station where she underwent a secondary breath analysis.

She returned a positive reading of 0.06, just a shade over the legal limit of 0.05.

She later made a public apology and is understood to have been fined $600 on the spot and suspended from driving for three months. 

The former soap star was previously married to retired NRL player Stuart Webb, with who she shares a daughter, Mae, eight.

Ritchie shared a post to Instagram after the incident, apologising for her actions and said she made a 'poor decision'
