Singer Harry Styles has been named as the latest big-name star to read a Cbeebies Bedtime Story.

The former One Direction boyband member, who is currently topping the charts with his latest single As It Was, will settle down on the BBC sofa later this month.

Harry, who is about to embark on a world tour including concert dates in London, is going to read 'In Every House, on Every Street' which is a heartwarming celebration of homes and the different families that live in them.

Introducing the story, Harry who is following in the footsteps of The Duchess of Cambridge and Tom Hiddleston, says: “Tonight’s bedtime story is about a house full of love and laughter.”

The programme will air on the children's TV channel next Monday, May 23.
