There has been a lot of buzz lately about the future of Justin Fletcher, the beloved star of CBeebies' hit series Something Special. For over two decades, the 54-year-old children's TV presenter has been a familiar face on the show, known for its use of the Makaton language program. However, rumors recently surfaced that Justin may be leaving the show, causing fans to worry about the future of the beloved program.
The speculation began when TV presenter Maddie Moate shared an Instagram post announcing her addition to the upcoming 14th series. This left many wondering if Justin was stepping back from his role on the show. But fear not, fans! The BBC has confirmed that Justin will not be leaving the show, but will instead be joined by three new friends: Maddie, Ben Cajee, and special guest George Webster.
While this is a big change from the show's usual format of Justin appearing as himself and his character Mr Tumble in each episode, he will still play a role in the upcoming episodes. In fact, he will be introducing each episode with the famous Hello song before passing the baton to one of his new co-hosts who will guide a group of children through the clues. And as always, each episode will end with the Goodbye song.
As Maddie explained in her post, the show will remain the happy, welcoming place that fans have come to know and love, but with the addition of some familiar faces from CBeebies. She also expressed her gratitude and admiration for the production team behind the show, who put so much love and care into making it a joyous experience for the children involved.
The news was also celebrated by Ben and George, who both expressed their excitement and sense of responsibility in joining such an iconic and beloved show. George, in particular, shared the extra special meaning of joining the team, as he himself had used Makaton before speaking with words as a child.
CBeebies also reiterated their commitment to inclusive programming, stating that it is important for children with disabilities to see positive representation on the channel. And Justin himself has been a staple on CBeebies for decades, also lending his voice to popular characters like Shaun and Timmy on the Shaun the Sheep franchise.
Fans can rest easy now knowing that Justin will still be a part of Something Special, and the show will continue to bring joy and learning to children for years to come. The 14th season is set to premiere on January 13, 2025, so mark your calendars!
