Cbeebies is getting seriously sexy for Tom Hardy fans.

The Mad Max hunk returned to the channel to host Bedtime Stories again last night for a Valentine's Day special.

Joined by his pet dog Woodstock, the ridiculously cute scenes sent Twitter into meltdown.

One wrote: "@CBeebiesHQ after watching Tom Hardy reading the bedtime story, I'm no longer sad that I'm alone on Valentine's Day! Thank youuuu #TomHardy."

Another then added: "Kids in bed but kept #cbeebies on to listen to Tom Hardy bedtime story on cloud spotting, cloud bloody 9 more like happy valentines to me!"

Shortly afterwards, a different viewer added: "Tom Hardy has made cbeebies way too sexy."

Moments later, another tweeted: "Just sat with my niece and watched Tom Hardy tell a bedtime story on CBeebies. Best Valentine's Day ever."

On last night's episode, the star read The Cloudspotter by Tom McLaughlin.

The story tells the tale of Franklin and his unexpected friendship with a scruffy dog - and it was actually a pretty good for those who were able to listen as opposed to just drool.

As if Tom's adorable appearance on the show wasn't enough to put a smile on the faces of his fans, he wrapped up the episode with some great news.

It looks as though he'll be making another appearance on the programme in the not too distant future.

Unfortunately though, no dates have yet been confirmed.

*Bedtime Stories returns to CBeebies tonight at 6.50pm
