For their work on Big Friday Wind-Up, they won multiple BAFTA Children's Awards, including Best Presenter in 2013 and 2015, and Best Entertainment in 2016. The duo has since hosted other CBBC series, including the revived Crackerjack!

Rhodes performed "Have You Met Miss Jones?" during Week, earning praise for his smooth delivery, while Nixon sang "Mr. Bojangles?" in the same round, showcasing his emotional range. The public reception was strong for both, with Nixon emerging as a favorite due to his youthful appeal and consistent high placements, though the judges occasionally noted areas for vocal control. Rhodes, meanwhile, was commended for his charisma and versatility across genres. The competition intensified in the finals, with eliminations occurring weekly based on public votes. Rhodes and Nixon reached the final three alongside Michelle McManus, but Nixon was eliminated on 13 December 2003 in a shock result, as he had been the bookmakers' odds-on favorite.
