Tom Hardy has made a triumphant return to CBeebies and fans are very excited...

If you’re a parent of young children, you’ll be very familiar with BBC channel CBeebies. Maybe a bit too familiar if they find themselves watching it all day long!

But the best thing about CBeebies returned to our screens, and that is actor Tom Hardy reading bedtime stories. The channel had decided to air one of his post popular sessions to celebrate his 42nd birthday.

Taking to Twitter, the official CBeebies Grown-Ups account shared a video of Tom reading bedtime story There’s a Bear on My Chair by Ross Collins.

Their caption read: 'Celebrate Tom Hardy's birthday by watching... Tom Hardy! Available now on @BBCiPlayer'.

As you can imagine, many people took to the comments section across social media to reveal they’d be tuning in to catch Tom reading the story.

One parent confessed: ‘My eldest child is 27 today but I’m watching CBeebies tonight alone lol 😂’

One wrote: ‘Do I miss my exercise class so I can watch this? 🤔🤔🤔😂’ I think we all know the answer to that question!'
