International music sensation LITTLE MIX performed a medley of their hit singles, “Touch" and “Shout Out to My Ex,” right before taking home the blimp for Favourite Global Music Star.
The 2017 Kids’ Choice Awards proved to be a mega slime fest: from DEMI LOVATO being slime-soaked by a Smurfy set piece; to CHRIS PRATT getting a surprise sliming in the Kids’ Choice control room; to KEVIN HART getting doused with the coveted green goo after his triple win for Favourite Villain, Most Wanted Pet and BFFs; to the Power Rangers (BECKY G., NAOMI SCOTT, RJ CYLER, LUDI LIN, DACRE MONTGOMERY) sliming the audience; Cena and NICK CANNON competing in a hip-hop dance battle and Cena receiving the ultimate green surprise while elevated above the stage at the end of the show.
