The celebrities who will entertain children with a Cbeebies Bedtime Story over Christmas have been unveiled.

Amongst them is singer Robbie Williams and Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page.

On Friday, December 20 Robbie will make his second appearance on Cbeebies Bedtime Stories when he reads The Twelve Dogs of Christmas by Alison Ritchie.

He will be followed on Sunday, December 22 by Line of Duty actress Vicky McClure reading Augustus and His Smile by Catherine Rayner and then jazz and soul singer Gregory Porter who on Monday (December 23) will be singing festive favourite Walking In A Winter Wonderland with illustrations by Tim Hopgood.

Joanna Page, who plays Stacey in the hit BBC comedy, will read Snow by Sam Usher on Christmas Day. It is a wintery story about a little boy who wants to play in the snow but has to wait for his grandfather.

The mum-of-three will read her story ahead of the much-anticipated Gavin & Stacey Christmas Special being screened later the same evening. She said: "I am going to get major mum points and this will make this the best Christmas Day yet for my kids."

Over the festive period there will also be opportunities to watch favourite readers from previously seen episodes including on Christmas Eve, Justin Fletcher reading The Night Before Christmas, on Boxing Day, Idina Menzel (the voice of Elsa) with Robin’s Winter Song and actor Tom Hardy on New Year’s Eve with You Must Bring A Hat.

The CBeebies Bedtime Story is on daily at 6.50pm on the Cbeebies channel.
