==Presenters== {{About||a list of CBeebies presenters|List of CBBC presenters#CBeebies}} Live presenters have been on CBeebies since the channel's launch. They are used to fill the gaps between the shows that air on the channel, speaking directly to the child, doing certain activities such as arts and crafts, leading activities based on a topic from the website, showing viewers' birthday cards, and introducing the shows, well as hosting some of the shows. Many of the presenters have histories as characters in other services or on children's programmes. ===International Presenters=== The international variants feature different personalities per broadcast region. * The Australian feed is the only non-UK service to feature more than one presenter, as this feed features three presenters. Tara Colegrave has presented since the channel's launch in 2008<ref>{{cite news|last=Ganska|first=Helen|date=29 October 2008|title=TV Guide: Cross to British channels|work=[[Perth Now]]|location=Perth, Australia|url=http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,,24571433-5005382,00.html|url-status=dead|access-date=13 October 2009|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120918002920/http://www.perthnow.com.au/cross-to-british-channels/story-fna7dq6e-1111117892012|archive-date=18 September 2012}}</ref> and when the continuity links moved from the UK to Australia, she was joined by Robbie Harding and Duncan Fellows in 2011. * The Asian feed shown in countries like [[Thailand]], [[Hong Kong]] and [[Singapore]] has Nisha Anil as the main presenter.<ref name="te-africa-host"/><ref name="bbc-pr-polish-host">{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/bbcworldwide/worldwidestories/pressreleases/2008/04_april/cbeebies_poland.shtml|title=New Polish host for CBeebies revealed|date=4 April 2008|publisher=BBC|access-date=13 October 2009|location=London, UK}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/bbcworldwide/worldwidestories/pressreleases/2007/10_october/now_tv.shtml|title=BBC Global Channels Asia-Pacific launches three channels on Hong Kong's now TV|last=Castle-Young|first=Amy|date=11 October 2007|publisher=BBC|access-date=13 October 2009}}</ref> * The now-defunct [[Latin America]]n feed variant had Roser Cabañas as the presenter.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/bbcworldwide/worldwidestories/pressreleases/2009/10_october/roser_cabanas.shtml|title=CBeebies unveils first presenter for Latin American and US Hispanic audiences|date=2 October 2009|work=Press Office|publisher=BBC|access-date=13 October 2009|location=London, UK}}</ref> * The [[Poland|Polish]] channel had Aneta Piotrowska as main presenter from its launch in 2008 until 2024.
