Since the last time he appeared on the show to read a story each night, he has pulled in one million views on BBC IPlayer with his soothing tones. 

No doubt mothers everywhere are rejoicing that the hunk will return to send children off to sleep each evening. 

The Peaky Blinders star who has three young children, explained he decided to return to bedtime duties as he has been feeling vulnerable during the lockdown. 

Announcing his return, he shared: ‘Hello. I’m Tom. Sometimes, on a day like this, I feel strong and happy. But, on other days, I just need somebody to give me a hug.’

A source told The Sun: ‘Tom was eager to help families in isolation and felt this might give parents a break.   

‘CBeebies were obviously delighted, they know he is a big hit. Especially with mums.’ 

The actor will be joined by his French bulldog, Blue, as he returns with new stories to read starting on April 27. 

The first story he will read is called Hug Me by Simona Ciraolo.
