CBeebies star Mr Tumble’s staggering net worth and the real reason presenter has never settled down
CBEEBIES icon Mr Tumble recently confessed that he would be taking a step back from his role on the hit kids show, Something Special.
Mr. Tumble, is played by Justin Fletcher, who has been a well-known face among kids for years thanks to his regular appearances on a slew of popular children’s programmes.
However, he is now keen to take some time away from the shows and has handed the baton over to some new TV stars – Maddie Moate, Ben Cajee and George Webster .
As well as Something Special, Justin has hosted Gigglebiz and Justin’s House, and it is all thought to have netted him a pretty penny.
Thanks to his TV endeavours, Justin is understood to be laughing all the way to the bank and has become a millionaire through his work on the kids channels.
It is believed that he has a staggering net worth of £1.5million thanks to his 20+ years in the spotlight.
He has carved out a small empire thanks to his loveable personality which has in turn churned out millions for the star.
Sales of his Something Special DVDs are understood to have exceeded 100,000 – netting £1million alone.
An accompanying magazine is also thought to bring in a huge £180,000 a month.
As well as his own shows, he has become a prolific voice actor in many other kids TV productions.
This has all helped him to top up the bank too and have earned him thousands of pounds.
However, it is this very busy schedule which has prevented the star from finding the time to settle down despite once confessing to receiving a “few emails” from overzealous mums.
Opening up about his single status, he told The Mirror over a decade ago: “I’m not married, live alone and have been single for a while now because I’ve been a workaholic filming Something Special, Justin’s House and Gigglebiz.”
Although he did admit that he longs for a family of his own one day and would be keen to become a father himself.
He said: “I do want to free up some time for myself and my family.
“I would love to have children so need to find someone who likes kids.
“A couple of kids would be lovely.”
