Tom Hardy returns to CBeebies Bedtime Story for cheeky Valentine’s Day treat for the mum’s – with pet dog Woody
Mums and lonely singles had best tune into the freeview channel at 6.50pm on Valentine's Day
SINGLETONS dreading Valentine’s Day alone have reason to rejoice – Tom Hardy is returning to CBeebies to read a bedtime story.
The ruggedly handsome 39-year-old actor had admirers weak at the knees when he took over pre-school reading show Bedtime Story last December.
And now he is returning to share another (no doubt gripping) tale on the day that most loved up couples celebrate their love.
A teaser for Tom’s appearance has already caused quite a stir online after it debuted on Monday afternoon.
Sitting on a roof terrace surrounded by stuffed toys and his own pet dog Woodstock at his side, Tom reads from Tom McLaughlin’s book The Cloudspotter.
“Cloud spotting with a best friend is definitely more enjoyable. Especially if your best friend is a dog,” Tom says as he reads wearing a quilted red coat and stroking his four legged friend.
The teaser closes with Tom saying: “I’ve spotted you’re not in bed yet. Quick! Go on. Get yourself tucked up and I’ll see you very soon.”
With a winning grin he adds: “Night, night.”
Tom’s playful appearance has already proved a smash with excitable women who flooded Twitter with gushing comments about his delivery.
“Tom Hardy telling me to go to bed and he’ll be there in a while… thank you,” wrote one impressed fan.
“I’m spending Valentine’s Day with Tom Hardy!!!” exclaimed another.
While another still, with a slightly explicit tone, added that there is nothing Tom couldn’t read that wouldn’t leave her excited, commenting: “he could read the microwave cooking instructions to a cottage pie and I’d still be on the floor unable to use my legs.”
Another Twitter user even revealed a longing for the A List star to read more adult material, tweeting: “When are they going to have him read 50 Shades for us mums?!”
Last time Tom appeared on the children’s entertainment show there were similar levels of hysteria.
One fan tweeted at the time (when Tom read You Must Bring A Hat by Simon Phillip and Kate Hindley): “Just watched Tom Hardy read the bedtime story on #cbeebies. I’m now pregnant.”
Those desperate to see the star in action reading The Cloudspotter should tune into CBeebies on Tuesday 14 February 2017 at 6.50pm.
