Doctor Who’s Pearl Mackie will settle little ones down with a CBeebies Bedtime Story on Christmas Eve.

Pearl Mackie, who returns as companion Bill Potts in the Doctor Who Christmas pecial, joins a stellar line-up of stars who will read stories on CBeebies over Christmas and New Year. There are also new stories from Country music legend Dolly Parton, actor Mark Bonnar and Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme.

On Christmas Eve, Pearl Mackie reads Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood and‎ Meg Hunt, a retelling of the classic fairy tale with a heroine who dreams of fixing space rockets. With a little help from her fairy godrobot, Cinderella is going to the ball - but when the prince’s ship has mechanical trouble, someone will have to fix it!

Pearl Mackie will also appear on CBeebies Bedtime Stories on New Year’s Day.
