TRACY Beaker was the must-watch after school TV show for kids in the early Noughties, becoming a hit CBBC series.
Originally starting out as a book, written by cult author Jacqueline Wilson, in 1991, the show followed orphan Tracy Beaker and her friends in the ‘Dumping Ground’ children’s home.

And now Dani Harmer, who played Tracy, is set to reprise her role in new series My Mum Tracy Beaker.
It will show Tracy as a single mum to her 12-year-old daughter Jess, and Harmer has revealed she “can’t wait” to get back into the iconic role.

There are few feuds in television history as iconic as Tracy Beaker and Justine Littlewoodâs â well, for those in their twenties who spent their childhoods glued to CBBC anyway.

The two Jacqueline Wilson characters, brought to life in 2001âs The Story of Tracy Beaker by Dani Harmer (Tracy) and Montanna Thompson (Justine), were the Dumping Groundâs Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, constantly trading low-level insults, fighting over the TV remote and subjecting one-another to disgusting dares. In fact, I still struggle to scrape the image of  Tracy Beaker gobbling down a worm on Justineâs request out of my brain to this day.

Dani Harmer is returning to our screens tomorrow (Friday, 12th February) as rebellious CBBC character Tracy Beaker in the three-part series My Mum Tracy Beaker – but this time Tracy’s all grown-up, with a daughter of her own.

Based on Jacqueline Wilson’s book of the same name, the series follows a now-30-year-old Tracy, who works in a cafe, and her 10-year-old daughter Jess as their lives are turned upside when Tracy begins a romance with an old friend-turned-footballer from her Dumping Ground days.
With the show set to feature cameos from fan-favourites Justine Littlewood (Montanna Thompson), Cam Lawson (Lisa Coleman) and Carly Beaker (Ruth Gemmell), My Mum Tracy Beaker will certainly be a blast from the past for many millennial fans.
