But the pro is confident that Heidi will go far, giving her a sweet pep talk on the spot. “I think you have amazing potential and you’re working really hard,” he told her. “You just have to stay and go on from week to week, and do better.

Heidi said her pre-show jitters have gone out the window now that she’s appeared on the debut episode and she’s ready to beat Charli—but don’t expect the mother-daughter duo to get too competitive. “It’s all love and support,” Heidi said. “Just because we’re competing against each other, that doesn’t change anything.”
