CBEEBIES bosses have shelved episodes of Bedtime Stories featuring rocker Josh Homme after he kicked a photographer in the head.
The Queens Of The Stone Age frontman was filmed lashing out at Chelsea Lauren at a gig in LA.
The BBC said it will not air or re-broadcast any of the three recorded readings by Homme, 44, “until the matter is resolved”. Gig footage shows Homme strutting around the stage playing guitar before swinging a leg at Chelsea.
She was taken to hospital with neck and facial injuries.
Homme posted on Twitter to apologise and claimed the kick was unintentional while “lost in performance”.
But Chelsea, who plans to report him to cops, said: “He looked straight at me, swung his leg back pretty hard and full-blown kicked me in the face.”
Homme was also said to have cut his face during the show at the LA Forum on Saturday.
He later filmed an apology to Chelsea saying: “I don’t have any excuse to justify what I did. I’m truly sorry and I hope you’re okay. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, and last night was definitely one of them. I was a total d***.
“I’m going to have to figure out some stuff, I think. Because rock and roll is supposed to save and help people, not mess them up.”
Avengers star Chris Evans, Tom Hardy and Dolly Parton are among the celebs to have read Bedtime Stories.
