It is shown on Saturdays from 2005, debuting at 7.00am instead of 6.00am for the hour of Sunrise, 6.00am to 6.55am. The presenters punctuate the mainly cartoons/stop motion/computer animated programmes with little dance routines and birthday announcements. In 2006 the cast did a live tour in Butlins camps around the country.

Milkshake!'s group of presenters is hugely important to the slot. Each morning a different presenter guides the under 7's through the morning, with birthdays, competitions and join in songs and dances. The current line up features Naomi Wilkinson who started in 1999 and was later joined by Kemi Majeks in the same year they were followed by Beth Evans in (2005-). And a few other names, Jen Pringle, and Hannah Williams, joined in 2006 with Derek Moran the newest presenter joining in 2007.

The original line up featured Konnie Huq and Lucy Alexander as the original two presenters who would share the 7 days-a-week presenting shifts. When Konnie left to present Blue Peter, Eddie Matthews (previously from Nickelodeon) was brought in as a replacement.
