Tom Hardy reveals he is going back on CBeebies Bedtime Stories for one whole week

Tom Hardy is returning to CBeebies show, Bedtime Stories, for one week. 

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, 42, who has a 12-year-old son Louis, 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.’  

Adorability levels will be high when the actor will be joined by his French bulldog, Blue,  as he return with new stories to read starting on April 27. 

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

He will say: ‘Tonight’s bedtime story is all about a little cactus called Felipe, who just wants a hug, too.’

The star first appeared on CBeebies in 2016 and his stories have been requested 1.07million times on BBC iPlayer since.

He will also read Under The Same Sky by Robert Vescio and Nicky Johnston, There’s a Tiger in the Garden by Lizzy Stewart, Don’t Worry, Little Crab by Chris Haughton and The Problem With Problems by Rachel Rooney and Zehra Hicks.
