.

Hi, welcome to the show and welcome to Blue Peter control room.

I'm here today because a special person is back.

Helen's here. We've got a big surprise for her during the show.

-You're going to love it. All right, Martin.

-Run titles!

Coming up, One Direction are the band of the moment

and we chat to them backstage at their first tour.

When you stand here and see which songs go down best,

it's really nice to see.

Find out how you can help a homeless hedgehog survive the winter.

And if you're looking for tips for Valentine's Day,

we've got some advice

from one of Hollywood's fabulous celebrity couples.

You need to put your whole heart and soul into it.

-Otherwise it just lays flat.

-Ah!

-What are you doing on the ground?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to the show,

let's welcome back Helen from the South Pole.

She did it, she's here, it's amazing.

Yes, it's good to be back.

It's not until you leave that you realise

this is like an extended family, so I've missed you all.

I've missed this little guy.

Barney's here. Hi Barn!

And Socks and Scruffy are here, enjoying themselves.

You've been away for quite a while now, you've been in the South Pole.

You also tried to set a world record.

You don't know about this part of the show.

You were using kite skiing. You take these things and make them work.

You tried to set a world record.

You don't know if it IS a world record

because Guinness World Records haven't said it is.

That's why we brought them in today.

-What?

-Please welcome Claire, everybody.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Hello, I knew you were up to something.

-Good to see you.

Let's talk about Helen's challenge. What was she trying to do?

While you were in the Antarctic, you tried to set a new world record

for the fastest 100 kilometres travelling just by kite-ski.

And the question is, did she do it?

Well, we couldn't be there with you in the Antarctic.

If you've come to say "no", that's really mean.

Because we couldn't be there, your team sent us GPS data

of your journey so we could track where you'd gone and video footage.

We've reviewed that and you met the requirements

and you covered 100 kilometres

and you did it in seven hours and 28 minutes.

It's a new Guinness World Record!

CHEERING

Let's go over here for a second. There it is.

-Oh, thanks!

-Helen Skelton, everybody.

-I knew you were up to something.

-It wasn't me.

Thank you very much. It's really exciting.

Lots of people do very impressive things with kite-skiing.

I'm a novice and it doesn't matter what your experience is, have a go.

Helen, well done, you're amazing.

If you want to check out Helen's amazing adventure,

it's for Sport Relief.

Watch it on Mondays, BBC One at 4.30pm.

Here's what you can see.

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, no!

I knew that was going to happen.

This is so annoying!

I've come halfway around the world to learn to kite-ski,

which I need to do, and the weather has just never played ball!

-I can be stroppy when I want to be, can't I?

-You were working hard.

What do Jake Humphrey, Holly Willoughby,

and Caroline Flack all have in common?

Well, they all started their TV careers here on the CBBC channel.

The CBBC channel is ten years old on Saturday.

It's done so well, and to celebrate,

we're going to introduce you to ten celebrities you'll recognise

who found their humble beginnings here on the CBBC channel.

The BBC's launched two new digital television channels for children.

It's exactly ten years ago

that the CBBC channel launched in a blaze of action,

new faces and gunge.

And since its first broadcast on 11th February 2002,

CBBC has provided thousands of hours of entertainment.

The channel's changed over the decade,

and so have the faces who found fame.

To celebrate, here's 10 celebs

who made their name on the country's most-watched children's channel.

In 2012, everyone knows Jake Humphrey

as the face of Formula One. But in 2002, he was in pole position

as launch-day presenter on the brand new CBBC channel.

My job on the day the CBBC channel launched

was to be the first presenter

to say hello to all of our viewers on this new channel

'alongside Sophie McDonald.'

This is the CBBC channel!

On the CBBC channel, I hosted this programme, Bamzooki.

It was a fantastic programme.

It was about kids designing Zooks, little creatures that ran around.

'I have fond memories of standing there, kids either side, cheering.

'They'd really invested in their Zooks.'

There's no doubt about it.

To be a CBBC presenter, you have to embarrass yourself.

-Who do you see in there?

-It's your mother.

-Oh, Basil!

'You have to dress up all the time.

'I was always in different outfits.'

I've presented from Olympic Games, from World Cup finals.

Now, I do Formula One.

I have to say, despite all that,

the most proud, and probably most nervous I've ever been,

was the day I introduced the CBBC channel.

From motor sport to motor mouth.

In 2012, Reggie Yates is a Radio 1 DJ who's never lost for words.

But in 2002, Reggie was better known to CBBC viewers

as Carl Fenton in Grange Hill.

But Reggie was too cool for that school.

Soon, he was brightening up Sunday mornings on Smile.

Do you want to order me a pizza? I'm feeling a bit peckish.

Another star of Radio 1 2012 is Fearne Cotton.

Music has always been in her blood.

Here she is in 2002, presenting CBBC's Prom In The Park.

We're live on the CBBC channel right now!

CHEERING

In 2012, another ex-CBBCer Angellica Bell

has made her name as a regular on The One Show.

But in 2002, she was all over the CBBC channel

on programmes like The Saturday Show and 50/50.

Hello, a fantastic welcome.

CHEERING

Who'd have thought the CBBC channel launched famous face number five,

the hugely successful Holly Willoughby.

She started her career presenting shows such as Xchange

before moving on to Fame Academy.

Those guys are competing for a prize worth over a million pounds!

Xtra Factor queen Caroline Flack is our sixth CBBC face.

She first hit our screens on TMi with Sam and Mark.

It can't just be you weirdos all the time! I'm calling my agent.

I'd imagine any pop-mad contestants are easy to handle

after working with those two!

From Saturday mornings to the actual Saturdays.

Both Frankie and Rochelle started out on S Club 8.

APPLAUSE

36, Francesca.

CHEERING

He recently strutted in sequins on Strictly. But back in 2002,

Countryfile star Matt Baker also sparkled as a Blue Peter presenter.

That's not a joke.

There's nothing that Matt wouldn't have a go at.

Oh! CHEERING

The CBBC class of 2002 have gone on to take the word by storm.

I wonder where the class of 2012 will be in ten years' time?

-BELL TOLLS

-Scary!

Happy 10th birthday to the CBBC channel!

Sorry, Barney, there's another CBBC celeb on the list.

Did you think I'd let you get away with it that easily?

I'm Barney. I'm a presenter on CBBC.

I'm a Lancashire lad, but I hate hotpot. Come and hang out.

Good morning! Come in. I've still got me cup of tea.

Come into my bedroom.

A great way to wake myself up. A bit of Robbie Williams.

# Let me

# Entertain you... #

HELEN CLAPS

You're not the only one who can do surprises, chum!

Argh, that was so long ago.

Fantastic. Thank you for that, everybody(!)

Barney has worked with all of those guys, Holly, Jake and the rest.

-You had no idea! Who's your favourite?

-Holly.

Not me, no? Let's find out what's coming up on today's show!

I get up close and personal with One Direction. Lovely lads.

And find out to help a homeless hedgehog. They're spiky, but cute.

Very cute.

Now, Valentine's Day is on Tuesday, 14th February.

You might have a secret crush on somebody.

You might see someone across the room you like.

You might want to find a way to win them over.

If you're not sure how, we can help.

By doing a stretch and yawn. That's one move for you.

We've been chatting to one of Hollywood's most famous couples

just to get some romantic tips.

We're not talking about Brad and Angelina, or Jay-Z and Beyonce.

No, no, no. This couple really has stood the test of time.

-< On air in 20 seconds.

-Thank you.

Miss Piggy and Kermit have the longest

inter-species relationship in Hollywood.

Hi-yah!

Though the path of true love may not have run smoothly

for this these star-crossed lovers...

There's only one Miss Piggy, moi!

..their romance has captured

the hearts of audiences across the globe for over 35 years.

In spite of their romantic quirks,

Kermit and Miss Piggy's acting career has never been better.

They're currently starring in a new musical movie

-in which the Muppets have to raise millions of pounds...

-Watch it!

..to stop a greedy oil tycoon

from buying their beloved musical theatre.

But with Valentine's Day fast approaching,

Kermit and Miss Piggy agreed to take time out of their schedule...

Your hair looks snazzy!

..to share their top tips for long-lasting romance.

Hello there, my gorgeous fans.

How lovely it must be for you to see moi again.

-Don't you mean how lovely to see THEM again?

-Whatever.

For all of you star-crossed lovers out there waiting and hoping

for your beloved to notice you on Valentine's Day...

Valentine's Day? Oh, no!

We're here to give you expert advice you won't hear anywhere else.

What Kermie and I have learned over the years

is that you need to put your whole heart and soul into it

otherwise it just lays flat! SMACK!

-Ah!

-Kermit, what are you doing on the ground? Get up, it's your turn.

Sorry about that.

Yes, anyway, here are three top tips to help you on the road to love.

Tip number one, just like anything in life,

if you want your Valentine to take you seriously, persistence is key.

Come on, everybody, let's get the Muppets back on TV.

No.

No.

Lo siento, pero, no.

-ALL GASP

-That's wonderful!

That means "no".

-Huh?

-Oh...

That silly man!

I can't imagine why he kept saying "no",

especially when there was star quality like moi in front of him.

Miss Piggy, sorry to interrupt... The Valentine's tips...?

Oh, yes, yes, yes!

Tip number two.

Communication is essential in any relationship.

Don't be afraid to say what you're feeling

otherwise how will your Valentine know what you think?

Miss Piggy, we're all out front practising our acts,

it seems that everyone expects you and I to do a duet.

Aw, that's so lovely, but I'm afraid I can't.

I'm already doing a duet with my new dance partner.

Hola.

-Rehearsing, let's go. We've got to break it up.

-Excuse us.

-Excuse us.

-Let's try that lift again, shall we?

On my count. In three! Wait!

CRASH!

That poor king prawn, he never knew what hit him.

It was the wind from the door that knocked that guy over!

-I didn't even touch him!

-OK, whatever...

Finally, tip number three.

If you want to win the heart of your true love

spontaneously bursting into song does the trick every time.

You think?

# We built this city

# We built this city on rock... #

NEEDLE SCRATCHES

Oh, yeah... That tip only works for putting on a musical number.

-Afraid so.

-Do you have another tip?

-Yes, how about this one?

Finally, tip number three.

Sometimes when it comes to matters of the heart,

you have to risk it all.

-Throw me over.

-What?

-Throw me over!

-OK.

Here we go. One, two, three.

-That's good!

-Sorry.

-That's good!

Guys, I think that's an electric fence!

CRACKLING ELECTRICITY

Well, that was shocking!

SHE LAUGHS "Shocking", did you get it?

So, my lovelies, I hope our expert advice has helped you

and that you have a fabulous Valentine's Day

-whoever and wherever you are.

-Yes.

So, Kermie, where are you taking me to celebrate?

-Celebrate?

-Yes, celebrate our love for Valentine's Day?

Oh, Valentine's Day! Actually, I'm kind of busy that day...

Busy! BUSY!?

Hi-yah!

Remember, you only hurt the ones you love.

Oh, and tip number four. Never, ever make a pig cross!

-You got that?!

-Yes...

-Humph!

There you go. You could end up like Kermit and Miss Piggy.

It's been freezing recently and that's hard to cope with.

How would you feel if somebody took your house away too?

You'd be in real trouble.

That's happening to some of our spiky friends.

We sent CBBC's wildlife expert Naomi Wilkinson

along to find out how you can help some homeless hedgehogs.

Everyone knows it's not easy being a hedgehog.

Danger lurks around every corner whether it's cars, litter,

household pets or even lawnmowers.

In fact, nowhere is safe

if you happen to be one of these prickly little critters.

The shocking thing is in the last 25 years,

hedgehog numbers in Britain have decreased by almost 50%.

It is now estimated that there's only a million

of these cute, spiky fellas left in the UK.

All because their natural habitat is slowly starting to disappear.

Hedgehogs like to stay hidden in the bushes and hedgerows.

But due to an increase in agriculture across the UK,

a lot of overgrown fields have become open farmland

leaving hedgehogs with nowhere to hide

and more vulnerable to the dangers outside the safety of the hedgerow.

For any hedgehog that's been injured from run-ins with cars,

pets or lawnmowers, or even been caught up in a bit of litter,

animal hospitals like St Tiggywinkles in Buckinghamshire

are their saviour.

This caring sanctuary, takes in, treats and rehabilitates

over 3,000 injured hedgehogs every year.

-Hello. Who have we got here?

-This is Walton.

'Young hedgehog Walton was found roaming round a garden

'and was too small to survive the winter.'

-Why are we weighing them?

-So we know if he's putting on weight.

He hasn't lost much, so we're not really worried.

Have you noticed an increase in the amount of hedgehogs you get?

We are getting more and more every year.

What's happening in the countryside, and you can see it,

is the hedgerows are being grubbed up.

They do like to be under the undergrowth in the old leaves.

There's nothing there for them anymore.

He's off.

It's great that animal hospitals like this are on hand

to rehabilitate the increasing number of injured hogs

that have had their habitat destroyed.

But what can we do to stop these prickly fellas

getting hurt in the first place?

It's not realistic to think we can do much

about the destruction of the hedgehogs' natural habitat

but there is hope for our small, prickly friends,

because if you have a garden,

you can help the hedgehogs make a new home.

Hugh works for the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.

He's involved in a project called Hedgehog Street

which encourages people to make their gardens hedgehog-friendly.

How do we help hedgehogs to have somewhere more inviting to live?

You just do less gardening. Leave it to go more wild.

They need brambles, a patch where they can collect the leaves up.

As well as keeping your garden messy,

why not try building a hedgehog hotel?

Hugh's team of hedgehog helpers are here to show you how.

We've got Kit here, who's a great carpenter

and Joe and Millie who are already experienced hedgehog-hotel-makers.

-You've done this before?

-We did it at school.

Two of our friends made a prototype out of a cardboard box.

That's what we're trying to make here, but out of wood?

If you want to build a hedgehog house out of wood

you will need adult supervision.

Tunnel is ready.

But you don't need to get a carpenter in to build yours.

You can make your house whichever way you like.

You can get a simple plank of wood and lean it up

against your garden wall to create shelter

for a lost hedgehog caught out in the cold.

As long as it's waterproof, the rest is up to you.

There we go. Our hedgehog house is complete.

Joe has some leaves so we can make it nice and messy.

And now, will our rather fussy hedgehogs like it or not?

This little fella has been brought in from a local wildlife sanctuary

to try out our newly-built hotel.

Brilliant! He just went straight in!

So, our hotel has its first customer and I think he likes it!

They might be spiky, but they are cute and cuddly.

Helen, can I grab you for a second.

I thought you said it was nice to have me back.

I want to try something.

-One Direction!

-SCREAMING

It's amazing how powerful those words are.

-You only say One Direction...

-SCREAMING

What is it with saying One Direction...

SCREAMING

If you think that's bad,

the girls at the gigs are enormously loud and very excitable.

I got a backstage pass to see the boys and find out what it's like.

-One Direction.

-SCREAMING

I'm in Sheffield to meet five boys

who have stolen the hearts of teenage girls a cross the country.

I'm talking about the mighty One Direction.

They're about to embark on their first UK headline tour.

It means spending time on the road together for the first time.

I'm here to find out what it's like.

# ..You light up my world like nobody else... #

If you were on another planet for the last year-and-a-half,

Harry, Zayn, Louis, Liam and Niall rose to fame

when they entered The X Factor in 2010 as solo artists.

But when Simon Cowell realised that five heads were better than one,

a pop sensation was born.

# That's what makes you beautiful... #

Here's the proof. Because at only three in the afternoon,

the fans are swarming outside One Direction's Sheffield gig.

ALL: We love One Direction!

Some have been queuing for over seven hours in the hope that

they'll get a glimpse of their favourite boy band.

CHEERING

One Direction now have a massive fan base across the world.

And as you can see, they're very noisy.

SCREAMING

It's the same for me when I go to the Blue Peter studios!

BARNEY, YOU'RE FAB! BARNEY! WOO!

Hello...

For the last month, the boys have been touring the country.

But luckily for us, they found time in their busy schedules

to meet me backstage so I can get the story on their first tour.

-One Direction, hi!

-Hello!

It's good to see your smiley faces here at the gig in Sheffield.

Let's talk about the tour. It's your first one. How are you feeling?

We've really enjoyed it.

Performing to the fans every night is the best thing about the job.

You don't think about it when you're recording,

but when you stand out here and see which songs

go down best with the fans, it's nice to see.

You hear about people with riders,

which means they want things in their dressing rooms.

J-Lo supposedly wants a certain colour wallpaper.

-Would you try that?

-Ours is fruit and sweets.

We haven't even decided on our rider. It just comes by itself.

We've got loads of questions. The messageboards are very busy.

Amber says, "If I gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?"

-Great question.

-My dad's garage.

-The garage is a standard one.

-The wheelie bin.

How are you going to look after an elephant in a garage?

It's going to have to be a double garage.

-You'll have to have water, food.

-Automatic door or folding?

-You won't have to do it.

-Who knows, one day!

"JLS have colours to represent themselves,

"If you had a type of food to represent you,

"what food would you pick?"

I'd say soup for you.

-Would you?

-That makes him sound like he's a loser! "You're soup!"

-You're just a liquid mess in a bowl.

-I'm a rogan josh.

Spicy, with a bit of tomato.

Amy says, "I love you, Niall. Do you like cheese?"

Yes, I love cheese. Apart from... What's that one that I don't like?

-Um, feta.

-Yeah, it's horrible.

"Harry, if you had a time machine where would you go in the past?"

I'm going to go to the sixties.

Why not go so far back in time that you go into the future?

Ooh! Someone got scientific!

Liam, "How do you get your swept fringe to stay like that?"

Hair wax.

So, we've had top tips about hairstyles, dressing rooms...

and how to be a really cool band that are going to go far.

They are going in one direction and that's right to the top.

-It's been a pleasure, boys.

-ALL: Thank you very much.

While I leave the boys to get ready for tonight's gig,

the crowds of girls outside are still growing.

And growing...

and growing...

We've learned that Niall loves cheese,

Liam would hide an elephant in his dad's garage.

They've invited me to stay

but I won't be able to hear the gig over the noise of this lot!

ALL: We love One Direction! ALL SCREAM

We love you, Barney!

-Thanks very much!

-LAUGHTER

You have no idea how loud they were!

You didn't need to stay. You've seen them 15 times. Massive fan!

I'm a massive fan, they're brilliant boys. Let's talk about something.

You've been away for a while and had lots of messages of good luck.

-2,146 it was in the end.

-They do make a difference when you get them.

I appreciate it, thank you.

People want to ask you questions.

Mainly about where you went to the loo. This is Anna from Coventry.

What's your question for Helen?

My question is, what object did you miss the most and why?

Anna, without a doubt, it was a hairbrush.

I didn't take a brush because I was dragging my stuff.

I was taking as little as possible.

In a week, my hair was a big, matted, frozen mess.

-I borrowed a comb off an Icelandic mechanic.

-Thank you.

-Thanks very much, Anna. We'll see you soon.

-Bye.

From Emily, "Did you ever get scared when you were on your bike

"because you could have fallen through the ice?"

When you're going over ice and snow,

sometimes a layer of ice underneath the top surface cracks.

When that happens it's like a dinosaur roaring.

You feel the ground shudder. That's scary. It literally goes "boom!".

"What was it like having your first shower? Was the water brown?"

The water was definitely brown.

When you take off your thermals, a layer of skin comes off.

-It is like a snake. It's disgusting.

-Was there a bit of a smell?

-I stank.

So, what happens?

Is there not something you can...

Do you not do anything when you're out there?

If you've prawns in the freezer, they don't smell.

-When you get them out they stink.

-It is true.

When we got on the plane and they put the heaters on,

we all smelled like something you'd throw out.

-This is why I saved my questions till last!

-It wasn't pleasant.

I'm hoping you'll run the Sport Relief mile on the 25th March.

Go on to the Blue Peter website and sign up online.

You do one, three or six miles. There's events all over the country.

Let's talk about what's happening on next week's show.

We are going on a daring mission to help a tank of sharks move house,

and we'll find out about the most sought-after award at the Brits.

-Don't miss it! See you then.

-Thanks, bye-bye!
