Following in the footsteps of Tom Hardy, Ewan McGregor and Dolly Parton, the latest famous name to take part in the popular children's TV show, Bedtime Stories, has been revealed to be the very famous actor, Orlando Bloom.

Orlando, who is famous for roles in Lord of The Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean, will be reading We Are Together, by Britta Teckentrup next month, and no doubt there will be many parents who can't wait to hear the actor read the story.

Speaking about his involvement with the show, Orlando said, "Children light up when being taken on imaginary adventures through storytelling, and it helps their creativity grow. Through my travels as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador I've met children in countries all over the world, and witnessed firsthand how storytelling between adults and young children helps cement their bond."

Last year, actor Tom Hardy famously appeared on the programme dedicating his final Bedtime Story to his late dog, Woody, who died when he was just six-years-old. Tom was deeply fond of his dog, who he had cared for since he was an 11-week-old stray - and even appeared with Tom on Bedtime Stories.

During the time Tom cared for him, the pair were inseparable, with the actor regularly taking him to film premieres and onto film sets!

Orlando Bloom's episode will air on 9th November on CBeebies.
