As a lover of literature and a connoisseur of celebrity appearances, I must say that the lineup for CBeebies Bedtime Stories is nothing short of extraordinary! From Dolly Parton to Tom Hiddleston, these stars have taken a break from their glamorous lives to share some heartwarming stories with our little ones.


Kylie Minogue has been named as the latest A-list star to be read the CBeebies Bedtime Story

On this coming Friday (October 18), at 6:50 PM, the renowned Australian figure, who is 56 years old, will be reading the beloved children’s book “Goodnight Moon,” penned by American author Margaret Wise Brown and beautifully illustrated by Clement Hurd.

The tale, initially released in 1947, traces the journey of a small rabbit as they bid a nightly farewell to each of their familiar items, one at a time, before retiring for the night.

Regarding her part on the program, Kylie expressed that it was truly delightful to narrate ‘Goodnight Moon’ for the very first time as a bedtime story on CBeebies.

Just as the character from the story always bid a goodnight to the objects in his room, I too, express gratitude to the spaces I’ve occupied before departing. Good night and sweet dreams!

This will be one of two stories that the Grammy-winning singer has lent her voice to for CBeebies.

Details of her second story are yet to be revealed.  

Kylie is continuing a trend set by artists such as Billie Eilish, Meera Syal, and Ryan Reynolds, who recently accepted similar roles in recent times.

Among the latest talents gracing our show is none other than actor Tom Hardy, who recently took on reading “Matisse’s Magical Trail.

Last month Kylie announced a world tour and her upcoming 17th studio album Tension II.

On October 18, the upcoming album will serve as its follow-up, being a continuation of the critically acclaimed 2023 release, Tension.

2025 brings the exciting announcement of the TENSION TOUR, which will take her to Australia, Asia, and the United Kingdom for a world tour. As she expressed, “I can hardly contain my excitement!

I’m eagerly looking forward to unveiling breathtaking and untamed experiences with fans across the globe, as we toast to the Tension era and beyond!

In the upcoming release, Tension II aspires to mirror the triumph of its predecessor, Tension. This original version dominated the UK charts by outselling the cumulative total of the top 20 albums, securing its ninth No.1 position for the artist, and earning Kylie her second Grammy award.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I am thrilled to share that recent news unfolds about an anticipated memoir from a captivating figure whose radiant charm has left an indelible mark. Back in June, this charismatic personality confided that she’s been working diligently on a heartfelt memoir, and now we can eagerly anticipate its announcement!

It’s been disclosed that Kylie will write about her life as a renowned star in an upcoming, thrilling autobiography.

In a forthcoming book, an Australian performer who’s both a singer and actress plans to give readers a peek behind the scenes of her four-decade journey in music, movies, and television.

According to The Sun’s earlier report, it appears that Kylie is choosing this moment, with her career at its peak, as an opportunity to reminisce about past memories.

This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award recipient at the BRITs is set to collaborate with a ghostwriter for their upcoming memoir, providing readers with a glimpse into their personal relationships.

According to a source, Kylie has reached the height of her career and believes this is the ideal moment to share her life story and reminisce about past moments by writing a book.

‘She’ll reveal some new anecdotes and stories and dig out some snaps from her archive.

She’ll discuss her work in music, television, and cinema, as well as her personal life. The end result is likely to spark a fierce competition between publishers for acquiring it.

As a die-hard fan bursting with excitement, I couldn’t help but eagerly tune in when Harry Styles, at the tender age of 30, decided to share his very first children’s book with us all back in May 2022.

One Direction band member harmoniously read “In Every House, On Every Street,” a song that seamlessly matched the title of his third studio album, “Harry’s House,” which coincidentally dropped during his guest spot on the kids’ program.

2022’s pop albums on Apple Music saw their highest number of initial-day streams within the first two hours when this particular album was launched, as stated by the platform.

Previously of One Direction, Harry was radiantly comfortable in a set of brown pajamas, lounging on an oversized yellow chair while greeting: “Hello, I’m Harry, welcome to my abode. I adore it here; I enjoy listening to tunes, reading, and spending time with my buddies.

Tonight’s bedtime tale revolves around a home brimming with affection and amusement. The title is “In Every House, In Every Street,” penned by the talented Jess Hitchman, beautifully illustrated by Lili La Baleine.

Zayn Malik, 31, became the second member of One Direction to join the show.

The singer recorded the bedtime story, Music is Everything, while promoting his country-inspired fourth solo album Room Under the Stair.

He mentioned that he selected the book because he’s fond of Bob Marley’s music and considers both music and reading significant aspects in his role as a parent.

Malik mentions that his ex-partner, the model Gigi Hadid, and he share a daughter named Khai. He also notes that he often spends their bedtime reading and singing to her.

43-year-old lead singer of Kasabian, Sergio, recently featured as a reader on a kids’ program during a special broadcast from the Glastonbury Festival.

Last weekend, the musician took the stage at the Woodsies festival along with his band members Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews, and Tim Carter.

At 6:50 PM, the 42-year-old Paloma Faith, who graced the stage at this year’s Glastonbury festival as well, was found engrossed in “The Party Animals” by Alex Willmore.

In the year 2020, David Schwanner, famous for his role in Friends, made an appearance on Bedtime Stories and read aloud The Smeds and The Smoos.

Currently, David was immersed in publicizing his impending Sky comedy titled “Intelligence.” In this production, he portrays a rogue, ambitious NSA agent situated within a Cheltenham-inspired MI6 facility.

In the countdown to Christmas 2022, Kate Winslet was part of an impressive roster of celebrities who graced our screens on the show.

Actress from the film Titanic has garnered multiple honors, such as an Oscar, a Grammy, twice a Prime-time Emmy, and five each of BAFTA and Golden Globe awards.

However she still jumped at the chance to appear on Bedtime Stories.

In simpler terms, she was engrossed in “Grumpycorn,” penned by Sarah McIntyre, which narrates an adventure about a unicorn yearning to craft the greatest tale ever written, yet struggling with creative block.

One star who didn’t appear to be appearing on the show for promotional purposes was Tom Hardy.

Over time, the famous actor from Hollywood has frequently guest-starred on a kids’ television network, creating quite a buzz when he first appeared in 2016.

Tom returned to screens to read I Am A Tiger by Karl Newson with illustrations by Ross Collins.

Kay Benbow, a controller at CBeebies, informed The Guardian that the individual, along with his representatives, reached out to them, expressing an interest in the project as a way to engage his children.

I am deeply appreciative towards him, as his efforts significantly boosted the popularity of Bedtime Stories and drew in viewers who might not have considered watching on CBeebies otherwise.

I’ll be sharing an enchanting tale for your bedtime, titled “I Am A Tiger” by Karl Newson, beautifully illustrated by Ross Collins. This story is about a seemingly small mouse, but it might not stay that way!

People all over the nation were filled with joy when Dolly Parton graced a well-known BBC program in 2017.

Dressed in a vibrant yellow biker jacket, the country music star snuggled up in a comfy armchair to read Louise Yates’s award-winning Dog Loves Books.

In 2018, Orlando Bloom left fans exhilarated by his TV show appearance, even those who don’t have kids, humorously stating they’d still watch.

In a relaxed pose, the actor was observed lounging on an overstuffed chair, his limbs splayed, with his pet dog, Mighty, stretched out comfortably across his lap. This scene seemed to ignite a sense of unease among viewers as he delivered the brief narrative.

Instead of blasting rock music and cheering crowds, Dave Grohl, the lead singer of Foo Fighters, opted for a peaceful evening at home when he narrated a bedtime story in 2021.

In January 2022, Reese Witherspoon made history as the first actress to win an Oscar who also appeared on CBeebies Bedtime Stories.

The actress shared an evening reading of “Extraordinary” penned by Penny Harrison, narrating the touching story that reveals hidden beauty within commonplace situations.

In the beginning of her tale, Reese came across: ‘Occasionally, when we’re preoccupied, it might be challenging to find moments to appreciate the surroundings. The things we frequently observe may appear… routine. However, pause and take a closer look, you’ll discover that our world is nothing short of extraordinary!’

In 2021, Tom Hiddleston delightfully read a children’s book surrounded by plush teddy bear characters during his appearance on the show.

The Loki star read Supertato, a story by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, as he cosied up in a purple cable knit jumper.

He concluded his reading: ‘Wow that little pea caused a lot of mayhem. But luckily, Supertato was there to save the day! Now it’s time for you to go to sleep. Perhaps you’ll dream of mischievous villains of brave superheroes. Goodnight little peas.’

In a heartwarming event on Christmas Day in 2017, Eddie Redmayne garnered acclaim when he shared screen time with a dinosaur named Greg, providing a peaceful send-off for viewers across the nation.

As an utterly smitten admirer, I can’t help but share my thrill when the radiant Oscar-winning star, renowned for his breathtaking performances in The Theory of Everything, The Danish Girl, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, charmed us all with a heartwarming reading of “If I Had A Dinosaur.” Truly, it was a moment that left every fan’s heart fluttering with joy!
