A disabled BBC presenter has become the victim of a campaign after parents suggested that she may scare children.

Worried parents claim that Cerrie Burnell - who was born with one arm - should not front CBeebies shows.

The decision to hire her has prompted a series of complaints to the BBC from angry parents. One father said that he wants to ban his daughter from watching the channel because he fears she may 'suffer nightmares'.

Another parent wrote: "Is it just me, or does anyone else think the new woman presenter on CBeebies may scare the kids because of her disability?"

Burnell and co-presenter Alex Winters stepped in as hosts of The Bedtime Hour and Discover and Do last month.
