Three presenters have quit Blue Peter in the last year
Former Blue Peter host Helen Skelton has spoken out following fears the CBBC programme could be axed.
“It was talking about sustainability and making stuff and recycling before it came on the agenda. It was a show that I was privileged to work on. Our job was to excite kids about the world and I hope that it’s doing that for a long time to come.” “Blue Peter still inspires children, as seen with the popularity of the new Blue Peter book badge launched last month, and it continues to be a much-loved part of the CBBC line up, celebrating its 65th birthday just this week.”
“I kayaked on the Amazon, walked on high wires at Battersea and Blue Peter was a gift of a job for person with an inquisitive mind – I went to Chernobyl, Sierra Leone, Uganda. And I just wanted to take this chance to go back, revisit it and remind myself what I learned in that time.”
