Dave Lamb dropped from 'Waybuloo' after parent complaints

Dave Lamb has been dropped from the CBeebies programme Waybuloo.

The Come Dine With Me host recently signed up to narrate the programme in an attempt to make it more enjoyable for parents.

However, following the first episode in the new format on Monday, parents took to the show's official blog to complain about the changes.

They described the voiceover as "unnecessary", an "epic fail", "inane prattle" and "aggressive, almost as if [Lamb] was mocking the characters" in posts on the blog, which detailed the new format.

Other commenters suggested that their children had reacted badly to the changes, while some claimed that the show was no longer suitable before bedtime.

An update on the blog has now confirmed that Lamb's narration will not continue.

"Thanks for all your comments - it's great to see how passionate you are about the show," CBeebies said.

"We've listened to all your feedback and have decided to revert to the original format for the show in Bedtime from tonight onwards. Thanks for all your views - keep them coming!"
