Meet George Webster – The Inspiring CBeebies Star and BAFTA Winner!
George Webster is a 23-year-old BAFTA award-winning TV presenter, actor, author and dancer from Leeds. He made history when he became the first CBeebies presenter with Down Syndrome, quickly becoming a beloved fixture on the channel.
At this special event, he will read excerpts from his books This is Me? And Why Not? And will talk about his life, his career and how we are all unique, all talented and special.
There will be a chance to ask questions about everything from representation, to CBeebies, Strictly, winning a BAFTA and being the young person of the year at this year’s Yorkshire Awards. Discover how George’s positivity, determination and pride in his identity can inspire us all to be the best versions of ourselves.
