To be named presenter of the longest-running children&#8217;s television program in the world is a far bigger achievement than I ever dreamt possible. I cannot wait to get started and follow in the footsteps of the 60 years of iconic presenters who have worn the famous <em>Blue Peter<\/em> badge before me. I am going to give it my all, no matter what the job throws at me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Peacock, acting editor of <em>Blue Peter<\/em>, added: \u201cRichie really impressed us during his auditions and showed that he has plenty of <em>Blue Peter<\/em> spirit when he came face to face with a Burmese python and took on a ninja assault course. We\u2019re sure he will be a big hit with the legions of <em>Blue Peter<\/em> fans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long-running children&#8217;s TV show Blue Peter has revealed Richie Driss as its new presenter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":16263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[4511,433],"class_list":["post-16262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-blue-peter","tag-cbbc","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
