Anthea Turner has been awarded the rare and prestigious Gold Blue Peter badge more than three decades after leaving the iconic children’s show.
The television presenter, now 64, fronted Blue Peter between 1992 and 1994 and became one of its most memorable faces thanks to her high-energy approach and much-loved “makes” – most famously her Tracy Island model inspired by Thunderbirds, which went on to become the programme’s most popular craft project of all time.
