Former Super League star Rob Burrow will make history when he becomes the first non-verbal person to read on CBeebies ' Bedtime Story show.
The Leeds Rhinos legend will be the guest on Saturday's 6.50pm show (Dec. 3), where he'll use an eye-controlled computer to read a story. Saturday also marks the 30th anniversary of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Burrow—who was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) in 2019—said he was "excited and honoured" to be a part of the show. The former England and Great Britain international's wife, Lindsey, accompanied him to the CBeebies studio, along with young daughters Maya and Jackson.
