But despite the channel being aimed at children it seemed like the parents out there were more excited by the 41-year-old actor's appearance.

Orlando read the entire story with his adorable dog on his lap, and surrounded by a sea of cuddly toys.

He said: "Hello, I'm Orlando. The teddies, Mighty, and I are spending a little time together as we settle down for bed."

His sultry introduction had his female fans wild as the watched on with their kids and many took to Twitter to swoon over the star...

A list bedtime stories on Cbeebies have become more and more popular and now the BBC have revealed that they often ask the celebs to choose their own story.
