What will Gromit's 'voice' sound like?

Have you every spent a Christmassy afternoon watching Wallace and Gromit films, wondering what is REALLY going through the mind of the small stop-motion dog.

Well, thanks to a new audio book, we may finally find out.

The much-loved animated pooch has 'written his autobiography'...

And Gromit's words will also have a voice - and it might be one you recognise from another Christmas favourite.

Gromit first graced our screens in 1989 when Aardman Animations introduced the haphazard Wallace and his silent-genius and ever-patient pup.

The films follow cheese-loving Wallace who finds himself in tricky situations, and is often rescued by his loyal canine side-kick.

Well now, Gromit's side of the story will be heard in a new book called, "Grand: The Autobiography of Gromit - as told to Nick Park".

Martin Freeman, who starred in Nativity!, Marvel's Black Panther and The Hobbit Trilogy has signed up to read the audiobook.

"He's reading Gromit's story as Gromit put it; his inner thoughts, his candid insights and endless witticisms bringing to them his usual colour, thoughtfulness and wry humour," explained Aardman creator and writer Nick Park.

Autobiographies accounts are usually life stories written by the subject themselves. But will 'Gromit' have something to say about the fact he was actually meant to be a cat?

Nick Park revealed in 2012 when he was first making Wallace he imagined the inventor having a feline side-kick.

But after trying to make the first model out of clay, he decided that it was easier to make a dog! Phew.

Nick also said that Gromit's silence was an accident.

To begin with, the dog was supposed to be "bouncy, extrovert character but on the first day of shooting, he was too hard to move."
