Tracy Beaker Returns was a BAFTA-winning British children's television series, which premiered on 8 January 2010 on CBBC and BBC HD. Based upon the novels by Jacqueline Wilson, it is the spin-off series to The Story of Tracy Beaker. The series stars Dani Harmer as protagonist Tracy Beaker. The final third series ended on 23 March 2012. The series will continue as The Dumping Ground which will air from January 2013.

When Tracy is arrested for using Cam's credit card to publish her autobiography, Tracy seeks refuge at the Dumping Ground, a care home where she used to live as a child. She meets the children who are intrigued by her and her story. Wanting to pay Cam back, Tracy asks Mike for a job. As Mike is short-staffed, he agrees to hire her an assistant care worker since she knows so much about life in care. Tracy then uses her background as a former child in care to become fully involved in the lives of those of those of whom she is now in charge.

Tracy struggles to prove herself as an efficient and effective assistant careworker at Elmtree House, while trying to repair her relationship with her adoptive mother. Tracy's first days at The 'Dumping Ground' prove challenging for her, the residents, as well as the current careworkers. Tracy allows her concerns over her own life to take priority over the residents of the Dumping Ground and resigns from her job, but is later rehired. She bonds with the children in her care, ultimately deciding to turn down a position which she was offered as a full-time reporter. Tracy realises that if she were to take on the new role, she would miss the children too much.

The council has threatened to close the 'Dumping Ground', leading Tracy to hold a protest on the roof. Lily falls, sustaining serious injuries, and Cam decides to foster Lily while she recovers. Tracy resents Cam and Lily's relationship, but eventually decides that she would like to act as a proper and caring older sister for Lily.

Tracy Beaker has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
