On March 16th, Jones will read The Huffalots by Eve Coy. It tells the story of a mother who turns her "huffalots" to "lovealots" through hugging.

The Theory Of Everything star Jones, who welcomed her first child last year, will tell viewers: "Now, I’ll tell you a secret. Lots of us grown-ups can feel ourselves turning into Huffalots as the day goes on.

"But luckily we’ve got our Lovealots to cheer us up … remember, a Huffalot can always become a Lovelot, with a little bit of help."

Hardy, a previous star of CBeebies Bedtime Stories, will return to read Somebody Swallowed Stanley by Sarah Roberts and Hannah Peck.

CBeebies Bedtime Stories is on daily at 6.50pm.
