You've probably seen Rachel Zegler's face a lot recently, with lots of adverts for the new Snow White film appearing all over the country.

Well the actress is now set to make a splash in a different way - reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story.

The book she'll be focusing on is 'Never Mess with a Pirate Princess' by Holly Ryan, which has an empowering message.

Rachel will be in good company, with famous faces from Billie Eilish and Harry Styles to the Duchess of Wales, reading bedtime stories over the years.

You'll be able to see it on Friday 28 March, when she tells the story of Princess Prue whose teddy bear is stolen by pirates.

But as the book's title suggests, they quickly learn not to mess with the feisty heroine.

In the episode Rachel talks about how "we can all be powerful princesses".

She added: "You don't need a king or a queen as parents, or a beautiful white horse, or even a fancy castle to live in. To be a powerful princess you just need to be wonderful, brilliant you!"

In other exciting news, there is also a very special Bedtime Story coming up on Mother's Day, on Sunday 30 March.

It will be read by Charithra Chandran, who plays mum Amma in CBeebies' animation Nikhil & Jay.

Her story is called 'You're Strong with Me' by Chitra Soundar and is about a mother giraffe and her young calf who explore the African savannah.

The world is overwhelming for the baby giraffe, but Mama Giraffe is always there to remind her that 'You're strong - with me'.
