Paddy McGuinness Reads CBeebies Bedtime Story

Paddy McGuinness is set to read 'The Stompysaurus' on CBeebies Bedtime Stories, airing on November 15, 2024, as part of his participation in BBC Radio 2’s Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge for BBC Children in Need. He expressed his honor in sharing the story, which focuses on managing overwhelming emotions, and hopes families will enjoy watching it together. The reading was filmed prior to his 300-mile bike ride from Wrexham to Glasgow, which he undertook to raise funds for the charity. McGuinness described the challenge as physically demanding, having trained intensively with former Olympian Sir Chris Hoy. His episode follows a recent reading by Olivia Colman of 'The Gruffalo's Child', highlighting the show's appeal among celebrities. The story will be available to watch on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer.
