As Digital Spy exclusively reveals, the Take That singer will play a mischievous, moustached wizard on a upcoming brand-new special episode of Nickelodeon's hit CG-animated preschool series.

Donald's episode, entitled "Moustache Day", sees Wizard Jeff set Wally and his friends a series of challenges in order to win a delicious treat.


Donald said: "Recording the voice of Wizard Jeff was magic. I really hope that kids and their parents enjoy the character and the voice that I gave him and that the underpants song doesn't drive them mad; it is a very catchy number."

"Wallykazam!" follows the adventures of a troll named Wally and his pet dragon, Norville, who live in a forest with giants, goblins, ogres, sprites and other mythical creatures. Wally uses his magic stick to make words come to life on screen that start with a specific letter, sound or rhyme. Each episode invites preschoolers to discover the magic of words and features a new set of magic words that Wally uses to playfully transform the world around him.

"Wallykazam!" is the first Nick Jr. series that embeds a literacy curriculum into a full-length story, introducing skills such as letter and sound identification, rhyming and vocabulary development. "Wallykazam!" is created by producer/writer Adam Peltzman (Emmy Award-winning "The Backyardigans" and "Bubble Guppies").

"Wallykazam!" airs daily at 4.30pm on Nick Jr. UK and Ireland and at 5:30pm on Nick Jr.+1.
