Millie, a huge fan of Ellen, had sent multiple emails to the show as a child, hoping to be invited. She admitted, "The funny thing is, I'm actually a really big fan of you. I’ve sent so many videos of myself dancing, saying, ‘I’m like Ellen! Get me on the show.’ But thank you so much for having me here, I’m such a big fan and I’m very excited.” Little did she know, Ellen had a surprise up her sleeve.

Ellen pulled out an old email that Millie had sent when she was nine. Ellen explained that while she doesn’t see everything that comes in due to the sheer volume, her team managed to find Millie's old emails. Millie was visibly flustered as Ellen began reading her email aloud. She tried to divert Ellen, but Ellen persisted, sharing the email with the audience: “Hi there Ellen, you should invite me on the show so I can tell my crazy story of what me and my family are doing in Los Angeles. It’s hilarious.”

A year after her appearance on Ellen, Millie told W Magazine why she felt so embarrassed. “I always wanted to be on Ellen, and that was the first email I sent: to Ellen DeGeneres. She found that email and showed it to the audience. Very embarrassing. I had made lots of grammatical mistakes.”

Despite her initial embarrassment, Millie carried on with the interview with her usual wit and charm. Ellen also highlighted that Millie was the youngest actress in a TV series nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
