Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow has become the latest celebrity to host a CBeebies Bedtime Story. Burrow, whose battle against MND has gone global, has joined a star-studded list on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Burrow was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in December 2019 but has continued to accomplish so much in his efforts to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure. With the use of ground-breaking technology which allows him to speak using his eyes, he reads ‘Tilda Tries Again’ during the broadcast.
The likes of England and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford and actor Tom Hardy have previously hosted the show. Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Burrow said: “I loved doing the CBeebies Bedtime Story because it brought back so many memories of me reading stories to my own children.
