CBeebies favourite Justin Fletcher, aka Mr Tumble has decided to take a breather from his role on the much-loved show Something Special, with new presenters have revealed as the programme's new caretakers. The children's television show first graced our screens back in 2003. Over the years, it has enjoyed 12 successful series and five specials. Something Special is crafted to assist kids with communication difficulties, incorporating Makaton signs, speech and symbols throughout.
The show, which broadcasts on CBeebies, has been hosted by Justin's alter-ego Mr Tumble, as well as himself. However, now there will be three fresh faces on the show, with Maddie Moate, Ben Cajee and George Webster all set to help Justin out in future series of the beloved show.
Maddie Moate, who hosts CBeebies show Maddie's Do You Know? and won BAFTA Children's Awards for best presenter back in 2017, broke the news of her new gig on social media on Monday. Captioning a snap of herself, Mr Tumble and the rest of the crew on set, she told her Instagram followers: "Last year I was lucky to be part of something special... THE 'Something Special', now in its 14th series, starring the much loved Mr Tumble and Justin Fletcher!.
"For anyone who's unfamiliar with the show, Something Special is a children's TV programme that uses @makaton signs, speech and symbols to help children learn how to communicate and develop their language skills in a fun and exciting way. The new series remains the same happy, welcoming place (featuring lots of Mr Tumble!), but with the addition of a few friendly familiar Cbeebies faces!.
