Famous names join BBC Bitesize Daily Celebrity Book Club

BBC Bitesize Daily will welcome Troy Deeney and Stephen Fry to its virtual Celebrity Book Club this week.  

Reading from their homes, Watford footballer Troy Deeney will be on Bitesize Daily Secondary (12-13 years old) and will be reading an extract each day from action thriller, Bodyguard: Hostage by Chris Bradford. 

Over on Bitesize Daily Secondary (11-12 years old), viewers can watch the legendary actor Stephen Fry bring to life the characters and emotions from Kim Slater’s heartfelt novel, A Seven Letter word.

Commenting on his new storytelling venture, Troy Deeney said: “I’m pleased to be getting involved in the Bitesize Book Club. It’s really important to keep school students of all ages learning throughout this period despite not being able to go to school, so I’m glad I’ve been able to help with this meaningful initiative.”

Celebrity Book Club is part of BBC Bitesize Daily and is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and the Red Button. 

Troy Deeney and Stephen Fry will be on Celebrity Book Club until Thursday 7 May.
