Grohl has recorded two stories for CBeebies, of which Octopus’s Garden is the first. It will air on October 8.  

He said: ‘As a proud father of three, I’ve always enjoyed reading stories to my children. It was a pleasure to read these stories for CBeebies.’

He joins a long list of musicians and other stars who have previously read CBeebies Bedtime Stories, including Sir Elton John, Dolly Parton, Tom Hardy, Rege-Jean Page, Felicity Jones and Oti Mabuse who have all appeared in the TV slot.   

This comes as Dave and his bandmates left Jennifer Aniston starstruck as they visited the set of The Morning Show last week.

The Hollywood superstar, 52, could hardly contain her delight in a slew of snaps capturing the rock superstars performing on the Apple TV+ show.  

‘The @foofighters paid @themorningshow a visit. This super fan will never forget this day!! (heart emoji) Mind officially BLOWN (mind blown emoji),’ she captioned the slideshow, along with the hashtags ‘Fan For Life’, ‘Best Humans Ever’, and ‘FBF.’

Jennifer looked just like any other fan meeting their icon in a photo of the Friends star embracing Dave on the stage.  

The slideshow suggested the band would be making an appearance as themselves on the show, with the rock stars seen performing on stage with their names blasted on a screen.
