After a night at the fireworks, what better way to relax than listening to the comforting sounds of Ed Sheeran?

The global pop sensation will be swapping his guitar for a book this evening when he reads the CBeebies Bedtime Story.

He will be reading 'I Talk Like a River' by Jordan Scott and Sydney Smith, a moving story of a boy with a stutter, whose father helps him by explaining that the flow of his words is like a river.

This is especially poignant for the singer as he too experienced a stutter himself as a child.

Ed Sheeran ‘delighted’ to be reading on CBeebies Bedtime Stories

Ed says: “Growing up, I had a stutter like the boy in I Talk Like a River, so I’m delighted to be reading this story for CBeebies Bedtime Stories, especially as I’m a new dad myself.

“I hope the story helps inspire and support other children who stutter.”

The star follows in the footsteps of other musicians who have appeared on CBeebies Bedtime Stories including Dave Grohl, Dolly Parton, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Rag'n'Bone Man, Sir Elton John, George Ezra, Alesha Dixon, Robbie Williams, Mark Ronson and Will Young, as well as actors Tom Hardy, Felicity Jones, Regé-Jean Page, Tom Hiddleston, Orlando Bloom and Joanna Page.
