First helping lull children off to sleep with his bedtime story in 2016, he's proven to be one of the most popular CBeebies bedtime guests and has been viewed over one million times on iPlayer.

Starting on Monday 27th April, Tom will help soothe children with a lovely bedtime story every evening at 6:50pm and aims to help reassure children during this difficult time. Telling stories of missing loved ones and finding comfort in those around us, Tom wanted to help children as we face lockdown.
