Melissa McCarthy Says ‘Little Big Shots’ Dancer Tessa Is ‘Meant To’ Perform

Melissa McCarthy’s new season of “Little Big Shots” is full of tiny talents! One of the show’s stars is Tessa, who was only 6 years old when an infection caused her to have a life-saving leg amputation. However, Tessa didn’t let this get in the way of her dreams to become a professional dancer! Melissa and Tessa talked to Access Hollywood co-host Kit Hoover about Tessa’s impressive moves and her natural stage presence. “You’re meant to do that, though! You’re so comfortable in front of a crowd,” Melissa told her young co-star. “Little Big Shots” premiere Feb. 24 at 10/9c on NBC.
