Pretty Little Pageant Queens (1×60’) is being produced by Crackit Productions for the Discovery Networks International channel.

It follows Anita Moss and her family run business who help fiercely competitive mums get their tots ready for competition with everything from mini-wigs to fake teeth at a cost of up to £20,000 (£25,700) a year.

The show was ordered by VP and channel head for TLC UK, Clare Laycock, and commissioned by Mark Procter. Steve Jones will executive produce for the channel, Hannah Springham for the producers.
