Harry Styles wears brown spotted pyjamas to read his CBeebies Bedtime Story

The former One Direction star, 28, will read Jess Hitchman’s In Every House, On Every Street, which is illustrated by Lili la Baleine, on Monday evening.

The story is described as a “heart-warming celebration of homes and the different families that live in them”.

In pictures released ahead of the broadcast, Styles, known for his love of style sits cross-legged in a yellow armchair and smiles at the camera.

The singer’s nails are painted a matching yellow and he wears a collection of chunky rings on his fingers.

Friday saw the singer release his third solo album, Harry’s House, to generally positive reviews.

His bedtime story will air on Monday May 23 and he will introduce the story saying: “Tonight’s bedtime story is about a house full of love and laughter.”

Styles will follow in the footsteps of Hollywood star Chris Evans, best known for playing Captain America; Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl; and British actor Tom Hiddleston, who have all appeared on CBeebies Bedtime Stories.

The programme is on each weekday at 6.50pm on the CBeebies channel and BBC iPlayer.
