Pearl Mackie, meanwhile, will bookend her role in Doctor Who's Christmas Day special with two Bedtime Story outings.
The actress, best known for her role as companion Bill Potts, will read stories on Christmas Eve and New Year's Day.
The first, Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood and‎ Meg Hunt, is a space-age retelling of the classic fairy tale.

The second story, Ellie's Magic Wellies by Amy Sparkes and Nick East, tells of a girl whose "fantabulous" Wellington boots lead to an encounter with a mischief-making "Flibberty-Gibberty".

CBeebies Bedtime Stories goes out daily on the CBeebies channel at 18:50.
