Friends fans loving David Schwimmer appearing on CBeebies Bedtime Stories!
From Ross Geller to CBeebies!
David Schwimmer is set to read children to sleep on CBeebies popular evening series Bedtime Stories, and we're sure plenty of adults will want to tune in too.
Most recently, David has been filming six-part Sky One comedy series Intelligence, which follows an NSA teaming up with a computer analyst to form a new cyber crimes unit in the UK's Government Communications Headquarters.
And now he's joining the CBeebies team, where he'll be reading Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's book The Smeds and The Smoos.
It tells a story about two star-crossed aliens who fall in love despite their families oppositions. Think Romeo and Juliet, but a lot more child friendly!
The exciting news was confirmed by the official CBeebies Grown-Ups Twitter account, which provides plenty of information for UK parents everywhere.
It says, "David Schwimmer reads a #CBeebies #BedtimeStory as… HE WAS ON A BREAK! 😜

No wonder some grown ups love it just as much as their children do.
