Tom Hardy is set to send mums into meltdowns as he returns to CBeebies Bedtime Stories with his beloved dog Blue
Tom Hardy will drive mums wild as he returns to CBeebies to read another bedtime story with his beloved French Bulldog Blue.
The Hollywood star, 46, has made several appearances on the children’s broadcaster over the years and caused quite a stir when he made his debut in 2016.
Tom returns to the screens on Friday evening to read The Oak Tree by Julia Donaldson and Victoria Sandøy as part of National Tree Week 2023.
The story focuses on a tree’s journey through its 1,000-year history, from seed to mighty oak.
Families across the UK can watch Tom Hardy’s new CBeebies Bedtime Stories on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer, and clips will also be available on the recently launched CBeebies TikTok page.

When Tom made his debut, women begged the actor to ‘tuck them in’ as CBeebies trended on Twitter.
Many viewers admitted that their children had already gone to bed or were too old for a bedtime story, but that didn’t stop them from enjoying the story of Batman villain Hardy.
Tom previously appeared on the show with his dog Woody, but sadly passed away in 2017 at the age of six.
The Hollywood star isn’t the only famous face to make a cameo on the channel
In October, Spice Girl’s Geri Horner made a guest appearance on the TV channel.
The Mi Chico Latino singer, 51, read Muon Thi Van’s I Love You Because I Love You in the show that took readers through all the big and small reasons why we love the people we hang out with.
Discussing the opportunity, Geri said: “I loved reading for CBeebies as I really enjoy telling children’s stories and sharing my love of reading.
This year also sees new CBeebies Bedtime Stories from Tom Fletcher, Guz Khan, Christine and The Queens, footballer Leah Williamson and the return of the ever-popular Tom Hardy.
Following a long line of musicians who have sat down to read a story on the famous children’s show, As It Was hitmaker Harry Styles starred in the show last year.

Geri Horner starred in CBeebies Bedtime Story last month, following in the footsteps of fellow musicians Harry Styles and Elton John
The children’s broadcaster has enlisted some A-Listers to read a bedtime story, like Harry, who starred in the show in May 2022
Fans went wild when the star appeared on the show in full pajamas to read the preschool story.
Harry introduced the story by saying, “Tonight’s bedtime story is about a house full of love and laughter.”
And fans took to social media to share the exciting news as they said: ‘Dreams really do come true’, while another joked about ‘a bedtime story for mum that night.’
In 2018, Elton John told preschool viewers the story of The Dog Detectives: Lost In London.
Elton, who had recently retired from touring at the time, wrote: ‘Family is always very important to me, and this year no less, where they have supported me in the launch of my Farewell Tour and worked on the film Sherlock Gnomes.’
CBeebies Bedtime Stories airs every weekday at 6.50pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer.
