Wheelchair racer Abby Cook has told of her delight after being unveiled as the 42nd presenter of Blue Peter.
The new host of the long-running children’s TV show will join Mwaka Mudenda, Joel Mawhinney and Henry the dog as she makes her debut on Friday by showing her skills at the track and meeting animals in the studio.
Cook, from Falkirk in Scotland, said: “I was speechless when I found out, I had to check it was true, it was a very emotional moment knowing I would actually be presenting a show I love and had grown up with.”
