Stars from the world of music, TV, comedy and sport make up an impressive line-up of guests in a new Bluey spin-off.

Celebs including Aussie sisters Kylie and Dannii Minogue, Olympian Tom Daley and Vigil star Suranne Jones appear in Bluey Book Reads, along with familiar faces from The US Office, Killing Eve and more.

The series, called Bluey Book Reads, will see celebrities narrate the massively popular kids’ storybooks, and the first episode - with Kylie and Dannii reading Mini Bluey - is already out on the show's official website and its YouTube channel.

In a statement, Kylie said: “Mini Bluey was perfect for us for obvious reasons: big sister and little sister! It reminded me so much of being kids growing up in Australia. It's a funny, sweet and heart-warming tale of being yourself and encouraging others to do the same.

Her sister said: “The Mini Bluey story was a joy to read with my sister, Kylie. A perfect tale of sisters finding out that although they are different, they are perfect just as they are. We hope it brings you a smile right to the last page.”

Episodes will land every fortnight until the middle of June, with the likes of Jenna Fischer (Pam from The US Office), Camille Cottin (who played Hélène in Killing Eve) reading stories. Also in the show are comedians Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Delaney, film star Eva Mendes, actor and singer Jordan Fisher and Australian TV personality Bindi Irwin.
