The BBC has shared a preview of Josh Homme’s upcoming CBeebies Bedtime Story.

The first of three Bedtime Stories Josh has recorded for CBeebies will see him read Zog - the story of an accident-prone dragon who vies to win a gold star with the help of a princess who dreams of being a doctor, written by best-selling author Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Alex Scheffler.

Ahead of its air date at 6.50pm next Friday (6th October), the BBC has premiered a 23-second clip this morning.

After reading Zog, in the clip Josh turns to the camera with his toy dragon Snoop-Bob Meatball – named after his and wife Brody Dalle’s beloved Staffordshire terrier dog – and wishes the children a good night’s sleep.

He says: “Now even dragons need to rest, so it’s time for Snoop-Bob Meatball to go to sleep and you too. So snuggle up and dream of faraway places and I’ll see you soon for another bedtime story. Night Night!”

Celebrities who have previously appeared on CBeebies Bedtime Stories include Tom Hardy, actor Chris Evans, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Damian Lewis, David Tennant, Rob Brydon, Tim Peake, Warwick Davis, Maxine Peake, James McAvoy and David Hasselhoff.

Boasting the single ‘The Way You Used To Do’, Queens of the Stone Age's chart-topping seventh studio album 'Villains' is out now.
