Mr Tumble and Justin Fletcher have welcomed new friends to Something Special as he steps back from the landmark CBeebies show.

Maddie Moate and Ben Cajee, and special guest George Webster, will be joining the presenter line-up for the new series, which starts on January 13.

It's a big change for the series, which has been on TV for more than 20 years. While Justin will still make some appearances, he is passing on the reins for many of the episodes.

The show was created to be enjoyed by all children but is particularly aimed at people with additional needs.

It shows children and their parents how to use Makaton signs, speech and symbols to help communicate and develop language skills.

I was always very grateful to him and the BBC for making Something Special, a programme aimed at children with delayed learning and communication skills.https://t.co/LChdbZPxU0
