Tom Hardy is returning to read a week’s worth of CBeebies Bedtime Stories to children in lockdown. The Peaky Blinders star, 42, first appeared on the U.K.
children’s TV channel in 2016, and his instalment proved popular, with it being requested more than one million times on the BBC’s iPlayer service.
Tom is now back due to popular demand to help comfort youngsters struggling amid the coronavirus pandemic. 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.” Tom filmed the readings in his garden alongside his French bulldog Blue and the episodes will air from 27 April to 1 May.
