Hardy will be reading a brand new bedtime tale, There's A Bear On My Chair by Ross Collins.

The 39-year-old father-of-two has previously popped up in the early evening slot on New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day.

But it's not just pre-schoolers who have been enjoying his story-reading abilities: with his dog Woody at his side, Hardy has been a major hit with grown-ups too.

Plenty of mums are already looking forward to the Mothering Sunday treat, and dads are gearing up for the evening too.
