'Here's one we made earlier' - Where are our favourite Blue Peter presenters now?

Most of us grew up running home from school to hear our favourite Blue Peter presenters utter the words 'Here's one we made earlier', while we tackled sticky back plastic to make something vaguely similar.

We desperately wanted a Blue Peter badge, but unless we were willing to break a Guinness World record or run a marathon we knew it was going to be pretty hard to accomplish.

Bonnie, Mabel and Lucy were also a reason to tune in and basically our foster pets since we weren't allowed any of our own!

But our real favourites were the adventurous presenters, who travelled the world, hiked up mountains, made various models out of toilet rolls and were there to greet us as we got home from school.

But where are our favourite Blue Peter presenters now?

Yvette Fielding

Yvette was one of the youngest Blue Peter presenters when she joined in 1987. Previous to this she had acted in a BBC drama series called Seaview.

Tim Vincent

Tim appeared on the show in the 90s - eventually leaving in 1997 to pursue other roles.
