Here's the full list of nominees
Watch the ceremony on BBC1 from 8pm Tom Hiddleston is set to become the latest celebrity to read a CBeebies Bedtime Story – undoubtedly to the delight of mums and dads everywhere.
Hiddleston will make his CBeebies debut on Friday 25th June, reading Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet's 'Supertato' – a story about a superhero potato and a supervillain pea (perhaps the next Loki variant?).
The Marvel icon begins the story by telling viewers: "Tonight's bedtime story is all about a supervillain. This guy is really naughty, very cheeky... and bright green. But never fear, because where there's trouble, a superhero is sure to follow."
Hiddleston is currently starring in Disney Plus spin-off series Loki, reprising his role as Marvel's God of Mischief alongside new characters played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino and Wunmi Mosaku.
