ROCK legend Jon Bon Jovi is the next big name star to join CBeebies Bedtime Story slot.
And he uses his stint to share a loving message about his new granddaughter.
Jon has gushed about his new family role since his son Jake Bongiovi and wife Millie Bobby Brown adopted a baby girl.
The Bon Jovi singer said: “Some of my favourite things in life are music and being a grandad – or as I like to say,‘papa’ – and going on adventures.
“When my grandchildren are a little older, I can’t wait to take them on amazing adventures.
“Music has played a part in all of my kids’ childhoods and I’m looking forward to watching my children become parents and seeing our grandchildren become part of our lives.

“It’s not about what I’m going to teach my grandchildren, but what they’re going to teach me!”
The TV storytelling gig has welcomed everyone from Harry Styles to Idris Elba to the bedtime armchair.
Jon has chosen to read his friend Paul McCartney’s book Hey Grandude! tomorrow night (Friday 7 November) at 6.50pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer.
He added: “I picked Hey Grandude! because it’s written by the great Paul McCartney, singer, songwriter, storyteller.
“He’s someone I’ve always admired and looked up to, not just for his music but for his parenting and grandparenting skills. He’s a dear friend and someone we all admire.”
Jon will also feature in an episode of the CBeebies Parenting Helpline podcast, out November 27 on the CBeebies Parenting website and BBC Sounds.
He will pose a question about when (and when not) to give parenting advice to your own children.
