Stephen Fry has voiced a new app that promotes mental wellbeing among children.

The 62-year-old actor has lent his support to Your Mindful Garden, a CBeebies app that\'s been created to help youngsters "learn and develop mindful habits" amid the coronavirus lockdown.

Stephen said: "It was such a pleasure to be involved with a simple, but beautifully designed idea like this.

"I hope and believe that many children will find the game fun, engaging and helpful in their journeys through life."

The BBC has explained that the new app - which has been developed with the help of a mindfulness consultant - allows users to discover three activities a day that "introduce focus, creativity and calm".

Meanwhile, Stephen recently confessed he hasn\'t washed his hair with shampoo for eight years.

The TV star revealed he hates using shampoo because he thinks it makes his hair look frizzy, adding that soap is the only product he ever uses.

Stephen explained: "It\'s been about seven or eight years now, I don\'t use shampoo.

"I just stand under a shower. Water. That\'s the best way.

"All you people who use shampoo and conditioner, all you do is strip all the oils out and make it ridiculously flyaway with shampoo.

"And skin is a similar thing. This obsession with micro/bio gut, there\'s also the skin as well.

"I haven\'t been one for chemicals on me - skin creams and grooming and after shave, never been one for it.

"And I think it does make your skin very good, but soap occasionally, and Castile soap, it\'s a more natural soap, that doesn\'t lather as much."
