Overview
Meat Loaf is to star in a children's TV programme.
The 61-year-old rocker will feature in an episode of new 13-part UK TV series 'Bookaboo' - which is aimed at helping children learn to read – where he will read a book to a rock star puppy who has to hear "a story a day or he just can't play".
Meat Loaf – who will read 'The Lamb Who Came for Dinner' on the show – offered tips for adults planning to tell their kids stories, saying: "You need to have fun with reading, you need to be a little animated and if it's scary make them shiver under the covers. If it's friendly and happy make them feel fuzzy and warm."
Meat Loaf – real name Marvin Lee Aday – raised two daughters, Pearl and Amanda, with his ex-wife Leslie.
Other celebrities set to appear on the programme include former Spice Girl Mel C – who is currently expecting her first child – singer Alesha Dixon and former England soccer star David Seaman.
The show starts on CITV on March 2.
