Tracy Beaker Is Returning For A Special One Off Episode

One of our favourite characters from our childhoods, Tracy Beaker will return to our screens for the first time in six years for a one off special.

Dani Harmer will be returning to CBBC on 7th December for spin-off The Dumping Ground which will tell the story of Mike the carer's wedding day.

Of course, it is the Dumping Ground after all so the big day isn't going to run too smoothly as the groom goes missing and the rest of the cast will have to track them down.

Eastenders and Coronation Street star Michelle Collins will also be appearing in the spin off.

Considering that is all the details we have so far we are definitely not ashamed to say we will be settling down and watching CBBC despite being in our twenties.

Dani, who is now 30 (we're not sure how that happened) has openly spoke about the challenges she faces while filming now compared to when she started at 12 years old.

Speaking to The Sun, Dani who gave birth to her daughter Avarie-Belle in 2016, said: "You don't realise when you have your first child how difficult trying to find child care is, it's crazy, especially with a job like mine.

"It definitely takes an army.

"We all pitch in and it's sometimes a bit like pass the baby but luckily she loves her family and it actually helps her development."

She also admitted that sometimes people can't separate her from her character. Dani said: "I do have the odd occasion where people actually think I am Tracy Beaker in real life and the whole thing is real.

"And I just put it down to the fact that we really did a great job on that programme."

Recently, author Jacqueline Wilson revealed the latest book in the Tracy Beaker series 'My Mum Tracy Beaker'.

The new book presents Tracy as a single mother to 10-year-old Jess who is actually the same age that Tracy was when Jacqueline first started writing about her.

Despite the book revolving around Jess, we still get to catch up with some of Tracy's old friends - and of course her many enemies.

Jacqueline told OK!: "Although this story is about Jess, I have had fun introducing characters from Tracy's past, like boyfriends or her worst enemy Justine Littlewood."
