CBeebies presenter George Webster looks back: ‘Aside from Mr Tumble and Dave Benson Phillips, my dad is my hero’

Born in 2000 in Rawdon, West Yorkshire, George Webster is an actor and presenter. In 2021, he made history as the first BBC children’s presenter with Down’s syndrome. As well as his regular hosting role on CBeebies, Webster has appeared in The Railway Children Return, Casualty, and the 2022 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special. His fourth book, George and the Dragons: Lava Goes Wild!, is out now. Webster’s dad, Rob, is the chief executive of NHS West Yorkshire.
