Mother's Day alert! Snuggle up with Tom Hardy for a bedtime story

Hurrah! As a special Mother's Day treat, Tom Hardy is back on CBeebies tonight to read another bedtime story, There's A Bear On My Chair.

When movie tough guy Tom Hardy previously appeared on the kids' channel CBeebies to read a bedtime story, the nation went into meltdown!

Tom, who recently starred in the BBC 1 drama Taboo and played the Kray twins on the big screen in Legend, showed his softer side while reading cuddly childrens' stories last Christmas and again this Valentine's Day.

Now, as a special Mother's Day treat, real-life dad of two Tom will be back on CBeebies tonight (Sunday) to tell a new bedtime tale called There's A Bear On My Chair, which is all about an angry little mouse who is desperately trying to move a pesky bear from his chair.

"But it's good for a mouse and a bear to share," Tom tells us.

Mums everywhere (and also some children!) won't want to miss Tom's latest appearance on CBeebies, tonight at 6:50pm.

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters. Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave? Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.
