Josh shared his excitement for this new venture with a twist of humour, saying: "It was a huge honour to be asked to be a part of a show that has shown the world that children’s TV can be genuinely absolutely brilliant for all ages. Just a shame Rob Beckett had to ruin it."

Alex added: "I can’t believe I got to be involved in the best children’s show ever made.

"I treasure sitting with my daughters laughing at Bluey and I’ve still never got through Sleepytime without crying.

"It’s an absolute privilege to have been a part of the show and do it alongside my friend Rob Beckett and the other one from his podcast and that Last Leg show."
