Tom Hardy sets pulses racing with CBeebies Valentine's Day bedtime story
Tom Hardy’s appearance on CBeebies last night, reading its nightly bedtime story, found hearts aflutter among a slightly older audience than usual.
Fans of the actor tuned in for the Valentine’s Day broadcast and were quick to detail their general feelings of rapture, as Tom read ‘The Cloudspotter’ by Tom McLaughlin.
He's got the rictus smile of a man who knows he's being objectified on children's television and frankly I'm into it https://t.co/CnGzq562M6

"I've spotted that you're not in bed yet. Get yourself tucked up and I'll see you very soon…" CBeebies actually trolling us at this point. https://t.co/0IVOYwrQOT
