Blue Peter presenter named

The BBC, this morning, revealed the name of the second new Blue Peter presenter.

And it’s Joel Defries who – along with fellow newbie Helen Skelton – will join Andy Akinwolere when the show returns on 23 September.

The 23-year-old says: “Being the presenter of Blue Peter is one of the finest jobs in the world. I wake up every day thinking I can’t believe this is happening. I have never been so happy and can’t wait to see what other adventures Blue Peter has lined up for me.
