Tom Hardy is reading bedtime stories EVERY NIGHT for a whole week
Time to go to bed with a smile on your face
Last updated 15th Apr 2020
After the huge success of his original bedtime stories with CBeebies, Tom Hardy is returning to screens with six brand new bedtime story readings - a treat that seems to keep both kids and parents very happy indeed!
First helping lull children off to sleep with his bedtime story in 2016, he's proven to be one of the most popular CBeebies bedtime guests and has been viewed over one million times on iPlayer.
Starting on Monday 27th April, Tom will help soothe children with a lovely bedtime story every evening at 6:50pm and aims to help reassure children during this difficult time. Telling stories of missing loved ones and finding comfort in those around us, Tom wanted to help children as we face lockdown.
Filmed from his garden, Tom is joined by his French bulldog Blue to read some gorgeous children's books including 'Hug Me' by Simone Ciralo, a tale of a cactus called Fillipe who just wants a comforting hug. Other books include 'There's A Tiger In The Garden' by Lizzy Stewart and 'Don't Worry, Little Crab' by Chris Haughton.
The stories will be available on the CBeebies channel and on iPlayer, no doubt amassing millions upon millions of views.
