Louis Theroux will read the children’s story Peggy The Always Sorry Pigeon on CBeebies.
Next week, the journalist and documentary maker will read the book written and illustrated by Wendy Meddour.
Theroux said: “I am a big believer in reading bedtime stories to my boys. It’s been one of my favourite family rituals going back years.
“Sharing my love of children’s books with the wider world on CBeebies Bedtime Stories has been a huge pleasure.
“I also know my littlest boy will be thrilled to see his dad reading a story on TV. I hope other viewers will enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed doing it.”
The married 52-year-old has had Louis Theroux Interviews, his new series, broadcast by BBC Two.
He has had intimate conversations with many big-names in entertainment, such as Stormzy, Katherine Ryan, Bear Grylls, and Dame Judi Dench.
Theroux will read Peggy The Always Sorry Pigeon on Friday, December 2, at 6.50 PM on CBeebies Nighttime Stories.
