The Britain's Got Talent judge plays ringmistress Lizzie in the circus-themed comedy programme, which premieres on BBC One tonight.
Speaking on The Paul O'Grady Show, Holden admitted that she expects the media to write off the series before it has time to develop.
Holden commented: "They'll slate it. They'll slate me. They'll say, 'Why is she a talent judge? - She's in this show and she's not talented in it'. But it's fine."
However, she promised: "[The show is] good fun and it's going to be on all over Christmas. It is something lovely and colourful that you can sit down with your kids for."
The 38-year-old, who has previously appeared in Cutting It and Wild At Heart, recently described Big Top as "credit crunch comedy".
