7:00:04 > 7:00:06It's 2016, and we're back.
7:00:06 > 7:00:09Coming up today, we've an amazing performance from Joe McElderry
7:00:09 > 7:00:11and his Technicolor Dreamcoat.
7:00:11 > 7:00:13It's a brand-new year, so I'm celebrating
7:00:13 > 7:00:15with a brand-new challenge.
7:00:15 > 7:00:17On today's show, I'm going to be walking on fire!
7:00:21 > 7:00:22What did you do that for?
7:00:22 > 7:00:26Cos you said fire, and safety never takes a day off.
7:00:44 > 7:00:45APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
7:00:45 > 7:00:49Hello! Welcome to live Blue Peter.
7:00:49 > 7:00:51- Happy New Year, it's 2016! - We're back!
7:00:51 > 7:00:54- And Radzi's doing his Happy New Year dance.- Yes, indeed, my friend.
7:00:54 > 7:00:58It's good to be here. We've got so much more coming up on today's show.
7:00:58 > 7:00:59Check this out.
7:00:59 > 7:01:01I go behind the scenes and get exclusive access
7:01:01 > 7:01:04at one of the most prestigious sports event in the country,
7:01:04 > 7:01:06Sports Personality of the Year 2015.
7:01:06 > 7:01:11Speaking of 2015, we look at some of our favourite moments of last year.
7:01:11 > 7:01:15- Such a good year.- An awesome year. - I think 2016 will be even better.
7:01:15 > 7:01:18- Yes.- It got us thinking, we want to hear from you.
7:01:18 > 7:01:22What do you think we should get up to this year on Blue Peter?
7:01:22 > 7:01:24Jump online right now. Leave a comment,
7:01:24 > 7:01:26we'll read out as many as we can at the end of the show.
7:01:26 > 7:01:29Let's walk this way. We're missing Barney Harwood, but hopefully,
7:01:29 > 7:01:33- he's dried off.- Where is he?- He's in the Blue Peter garden. There he is!
7:01:33 > 7:01:38He's going to show that, this year, Blue Peter is going to be on fire.
7:01:38 > 7:01:41Yeah. Quite literally, guys. As you can see, it's really cold outside.
7:01:41 > 7:01:45That's why I'm wearing a coat and woolly hat. I'm slightly nervous.
7:01:45 > 7:01:48You can probably hear a crackling noise. It leads to this question.
7:01:48 > 7:01:51Who wants to see me walking across fire in my bare feet?
7:01:51 > 7:01:54- CHEERING IN THE STUDIO - OK. Thanks very much!
7:01:54 > 7:01:58There it is, in all its glory. This just looks terrifying.
7:01:58 > 7:02:01Karen, could you come in, please, hold my hand and give me a cuddle?
7:02:01 > 7:02:03Aw. Bless.
7:02:03 > 7:02:06The idea today is I'm going to walk across that in my bare feet.
7:02:06 > 7:02:08Let's go back in time and work out
7:02:08 > 7:02:11who thought it was a good idea to do this in the first place,
7:02:11 > 7:02:15- and how long ago was that?- You can take it back over 3,000 years.
7:02:15 > 7:02:17In different continents around the world,
7:02:17 > 7:02:21everyone will have a ceremony or ritual involving walking on fire,
7:02:21 > 7:02:24be it a test of strength or courage,
7:02:24 > 7:02:29or it could be going from childhood into adulthood.
7:02:29 > 7:02:31So they'd walk across it to prove they were strong people.
7:02:31 > 7:02:34- To prove they were strong. - I don't think I'm that strong.
7:02:34 > 7:02:37- I know you're that strong. - Let's talk about temperature.
7:02:37 > 7:02:39We're stood quite away from it and it's boiling.
7:02:39 > 7:02:43That's because the temperatures are going to be about 660 Celsius
7:02:43 > 7:02:45that you're walking on.
7:02:45 > 7:02:51So a kettle is 100, boiling. That's six times as hot. OK. Fine.
7:02:51 > 7:02:55Obvious question, how am I not going to burn my feet walking across that?
7:02:55 > 7:02:58Science. And being in the right mental state
7:02:58 > 7:03:02that you want to take that first step quickly, followed by others.
7:03:02 > 7:03:04As you can feel the heat here, we love wood,
7:03:04 > 7:03:08it's excellent as a source of heat. It radiates heat incredibly well.
7:03:08 > 7:03:10It just doesn't conduct heat well.
7:03:10 > 7:03:12So with a short contact time,
7:03:12 > 7:03:16the brisk pace you'll be walking on that, keep moving, you'll be fab.
7:03:16 > 7:03:19- You did talk me through this earlier on.- But now we see the flames.
7:03:19 > 7:03:24We've got what I need to have in my head sorted, my mental state.
7:03:24 > 7:03:26But, most importantly, how brisk that walk is,
7:03:26 > 7:03:29- how quick I walk across. - Brisk walking pace.
7:03:29 > 7:03:31Karen, for now, thank you very much.
7:03:31 > 7:03:33One thing's for sure, by the time I've done this,
7:03:33 > 7:03:36I am going to be totally toasty.
7:03:36 > 7:03:38Do not try this at home, please.
7:03:38 > 7:03:41Radzi, Lindsey, it's been nice knowing you!
7:03:41 > 7:03:45- It's not often we see Barney nervous, is it?- Yikes.
7:03:45 > 7:03:47You can tell he's a little bit anxious.
7:03:47 > 7:03:49That is going to start the year off so well.
7:03:49 > 7:03:52Barns, what was your favourite moment of last year?
7:03:52 > 7:03:55- My favourite moment?- Yeah. - Genuinely, my favourite moment was
7:03:55 > 7:03:57when Radzi did his front flip at gymnastics.
7:03:57 > 7:04:00I was with him in Glasgow, we drove down together in my camper van.
7:04:00 > 7:04:01We had a brilliant time.
7:04:01 > 7:04:04Radzi would call me during training and tell me how hard it was.
7:04:04 > 7:04:07I know he put a lot of effort into getting it right.
7:04:07 > 7:04:10When he finally did it, I was proud, like a big brother,
7:04:10 > 7:04:11it was an amazing moment for me.
7:04:11 > 7:04:13That film still makes me cry, Radz.
7:04:13 > 7:04:16My favourite moment, it's tricky -
7:04:16 > 7:04:18Iggy's birthday, or Trapeze Challenge. That was so fun.
7:04:18 > 7:04:20- That was incredible. - And I liked the outfit.
7:04:20 > 7:04:23Mine was following in the footsteps of my hero, Martin Luther King,
7:04:23 > 7:04:26doing the walk that changed the world. I will never forget that.
7:04:26 > 7:04:29But it's not just about us, it's about you at home.
7:04:29 > 7:04:31Here are your thoughts as well.
7:04:34 > 7:04:37Wow. What a year on Blue Peter.
7:04:37 > 7:04:38CHEERING AND WHOOPING
7:04:38 > 7:04:40- COMMENTATOR:- Yes! He's got it!
7:04:40 > 7:04:42I liked Blue Peter this year
7:04:42 > 7:04:44because there were so many brilliant challenges.
7:04:49 > 7:04:52'Camera five. He did it.'
7:04:54 > 7:04:56- 'He's on track to do this. - So close.'
7:05:01 > 7:05:04I really liked it when Barney was driving the drone
7:05:04 > 7:05:07and trying to get it through the hoops.
7:05:07 > 7:05:09It's like watching a really cool computer game.
7:05:09 > 7:05:12- BOTH:- Our favourite part of Blue Peter 2015
7:05:12 > 7:05:16- is where Lindsey runs the marathon. - It was so epic.
7:05:17 > 7:05:22Every step I take now is a step closer to the end.
7:05:22 > 7:05:23We've just got to keep going.
7:05:23 > 7:05:26My favourite thing on Blue Peter this year was...
7:05:26 > 7:05:30..Radzi doing his gymnastics challenge.
7:05:32 > 7:05:33Oh!
7:05:33 > 7:05:37I only get one chance to get it right. It makes it so much harder.
7:05:41 > 7:05:42- COMMENTATOR:- Oh, it's a big move.
7:05:42 > 7:05:45He went for the front somersault, and he's nailed it.
7:05:46 > 7:05:52My favourite bit on Blue Peter was when Iggy did her training.
7:05:52 > 7:05:53Iggy, forward.
7:05:53 > 7:05:56Wow. We're on the road, on the road.
7:05:56 > 7:05:59I thought that she was amazing.

7:06:15 > 7:06:18- This is his office, where he works. Incredible, isn't it?- Yeah.
7:06:18 > 7:06:20My favourite thing on Blue Peter...
7:06:20 > 7:06:23..is Lindsey's Trapeze Challenge because it was really funny.
7:06:23 > 7:06:25'I swing.
7:06:28 > 7:06:32'..And I make the grab. I've done it!'
7:06:32 > 7:06:34CROWD CHEERS

7:06:43 > 7:06:46It's Barney Harwood, hello.

7:06:49 > 7:06:52- Oh, that will be 1964.- No, '63.
7:06:52 > 7:06:56And he's also really funny, and does lots of crummy jokes.
7:06:56 > 7:06:58It's out of this world!
7:06:58 > 7:07:01Space joke to finish. No? OK.
7:07:01 > 7:07:03- "I want one!" - I want one!

7:07:06 > 7:07:09Ooh, I'm getting a good cuddle!
7:07:09 > 7:07:13I think she was really good at acting when she was being the llama.
7:07:13 > 7:07:16I'm a naughty llama. I grab the sandwich and I run.
7:07:17 > 7:07:19My favourite presenter is Radzi
7:07:19 > 7:07:22because he is such a daredevil at anything.
7:07:22 > 7:07:25Yes! Whoohoo!

7:07:27 > 7:07:30"Hello, I'm Radzi and I've got really long hair!"

7:08:49 > 7:08:52Thank you so much to anyone who sent something in.

7:09:04 > 7:09:05Fantastic job, Rhona, thank you.
7:09:05 > 7:09:10I'm just reaching behind here because Ella, 11, from Newport,
7:09:10 > 7:09:12has done these teeny-weeny clay models.
7:09:12 > 7:09:15- You have to whisper when you've got small things.- I know.
7:09:15 > 7:09:19Tiny clay models. They are absolutely fab. Thank you so much.
7:09:19 > 7:09:22She wrote to us and said she loves it when The Next Step dance crew
7:09:22 > 7:09:26did a little dance with us. It was about a year ago.
7:09:26 > 7:09:29Good news, Ella, they're going to be back next week in this studio.

7:09:42 > 7:09:46We've had so many posts this week, we've had to do this.
7:09:46 > 7:09:48For once, we've got a second Big Badge Wall.
7:09:48 > 7:09:50Just because we've had so much. It's brilliant.

7:10:01 > 7:10:04One of the funnest films I've done on Blue Peter. Amazing.
7:10:04 > 7:10:07- That lizard's got red hair like you. - It weirdly looks like me, doesn't it?
7:10:07 > 7:10:12- I'll pose like her.- I want a cartoon made of me, that would be awesome.
7:10:12 > 7:10:15- Amy... Do it again, Linds. - No, I'm not. Get on with it.
7:10:15 > 7:10:18Amy from Macclesfield has sent in this lovely picture
7:10:18 > 7:10:20of Iggy and Shelley.
7:10:20 > 7:10:22And in return has got herself a silver badge. Why?

7:10:26 > 7:10:28Amy, awesome work.
7:10:28 > 7:10:31This is brilliant. Olivia from Loughborough has sent in
7:10:31 > 7:10:34the Blue Peter badge, but she's filled it with amazing words

7:10:37 > 7:10:40Blue Peter, CBBC. It's all on there. You're very clever.

7:14:02 > 7:14:05I'm really excited. I'm quite nervous and anxious,
7:14:05 > 7:14:09but I'm also honoured. I think, once we start rehearsals next week,
7:14:09 > 7:14:11once they get under way and I get into the swing of it,
7:14:11 > 7:14:14it's going to be so much fun. Everybody loves this show,
7:14:14 > 7:14:17and everyone I've spoken to is really excited about it.
7:14:17 > 7:14:19When does it all kick off, when can we see it?

7:15:53 > 7:15:56I couldn't say no, could I? Check this out.
7:15:58 > 7:16:00The day has finally arrived.
7:16:00 > 7:16:03We are here for BBC Sports Personality of the Year
7:16:03 > 7:16:07and I'm just a teensy-weensy bit excited.
7:16:09 > 7:16:12As you know, if you apply for the sport badge,
7:16:12 > 7:16:15that puts you in with the chance of being a judge
7:16:15 > 7:16:17on Young Sports Personality of the Year.

7:16:27 > 7:16:30for inspiring her friend to have a go at the sport.

7:17:04 > 7:17:07'Let's see how she found working with one of England's
7:17:07 > 7:17:09'greatest-ever footballers.'
7:17:09 > 7:17:12Sameena, in television, they have a very specific term
7:17:12 > 7:17:16for what you just did. That's called "smashing it out of the park"!
7:17:16 > 7:17:18Straight up top!
7:17:18 > 7:17:22You've spoken to an England footballing legend. How was it?
7:17:22 > 7:17:25It was pretty scary, a bit nerve-racking.
7:17:25 > 7:17:28I didn't know what I was supposed to do. But I got on with it.
7:17:28 > 7:17:33- What's it like being here?- It's amazing to be here. It's an honour.
7:17:33 > 7:17:36Um. It's breathtaking, to be honest.
7:17:36 > 7:17:39'But her work is not over yet.
7:17:39 > 7:17:41'Next up, it's time for an interview with Nick Bright
7:17:41 > 7:17:43'from BBC Radio 1Xtra.'
7:17:43 > 7:17:4620 seconds until we go live on 1Xtra.
7:17:46 > 7:17:48Me and Sameena, it's not a big deal, it's fine!
7:17:50 > 7:17:53And I'm joined in our makeshift studio right now
7:17:53 > 7:17:56by Radzi from Blue Peter and Sameena as well.
7:17:56 > 7:17:58- Sameena, are you all right, are you good?- Yeah, I'm fine.
7:17:58 > 7:18:02- You're a boxer. How old are you? - I'm 13 years old.
7:18:02 > 7:18:06- How long have you been boxing for? - About three-and-a-half years.
7:18:06 > 7:18:09- I see you're both wearing Blue Peter badges.- We are.
7:18:09 > 7:18:13As we speak. And I've never had a Blue Peter badge.
7:18:13 > 7:18:19- Yes!- Here it is!- This is the real deal.- Yes.- The Blue Peter badge.
7:18:19 > 7:18:23Guys, thank you very much. I'm going to wear this with pride.
7:18:23 > 7:18:26- Enjoy the ceremony tonight.- Looking forward to it.- I'll see you there.
7:18:28 > 7:18:30The evening is about to get under way.
7:18:30 > 7:18:35The biggest names in sport are arriving on the red carpet.
7:18:35 > 7:18:38# Say you are a superstar...#
7:18:38 > 7:18:41So, it's time to get dressed up and see if we can meet some of them.
7:18:43 > 7:18:46It's always such a great event. And there's so many great nominees.
7:18:46 > 7:18:49To be the first Rugby League player to be nominated
7:18:49 > 7:18:51is massive for our sport.
7:18:53 > 7:18:56I'm over the moon to be here, and excited for the night.
7:18:56 > 7:19:00'And Sameena gets the chance to meet her hero,
7:19:00 > 7:19:03'Olympic gold medallist Nicola Adams.'
7:19:03 > 7:19:08Now, you are a British boxing women's sporting legend.
7:19:08 > 7:19:13And we have here a future boxing legend. Sameena.
7:19:13 > 7:19:17- You are one of her heroes. - Wow. Nice to meet you.
7:19:18 > 7:19:20'As well as current sporting legends,
7:19:20 > 7:19:22'we catch up with the next generation.
7:19:22 > 7:19:25'It's our three young Spoty finalists.'
7:19:25 > 7:19:28Did you have any idea you were going to be nominated?
7:19:28 > 7:19:32No, I had no idea at all. There's been so many great athletes
7:19:32 > 7:19:34who've had so many great performances this year.
7:19:34 > 7:19:36I never thought I'd be nominated.
7:19:36 > 7:19:39AP McCoy said, "This guy is the real deal."
7:19:39 > 7:19:41The greatest of all time thinks you're the real deal.
7:19:41 > 7:19:44- What does that mean to you? - He's been a massive idol of mine
7:19:44 > 7:19:46since I was a young child.
7:19:46 > 7:19:49It is unthinkable to even get the recognition off someone like that.
7:19:49 > 7:19:52The top three are really strong contenders.
7:19:52 > 7:19:55So I'm just looking forward to the night, really.
7:19:55 > 7:19:59'Sameena gets a taste of what it's like to be a sporting superstar
7:19:59 > 7:20:02'as we strut our stuff on the red carpet.'
7:20:02 > 7:20:04You've just done the red carpet walk.
7:20:04 > 7:20:08Do you think, one day, maybe it will be you walking down here,
7:20:08 > 7:20:11without me, because you'll be the star
7:20:11 > 7:20:15- on Sports Personality of the Year? - I hope so.- I hope so too.
7:20:15 > 7:20:18Shall we go inside? Amazing.

7:20:52 > 7:20:55'I met her backstage, after she'd collected her award.'
7:20:55 > 7:20:59- How are you feeling? - Um, a bit shocked and surprised.
7:20:59 > 7:21:00I definitely wasn't expecting it.
7:21:00 > 7:21:04My heart was beating a bit fast when they said my name.
7:21:04 > 7:21:07Gymnastics is the most popular sport for all the Blue Peter viewers.
7:21:07 > 7:21:11For any budding Ellies who one day wants to be as good as you,
7:21:11 > 7:21:13- do you have any advice for them? - Erm...
7:21:13 > 7:21:15Gymnastics is an absolutely amazing sport.
7:21:15 > 7:21:18The more young people we can get starting, the better.
7:21:18 > 7:21:21I hope I'm inspiring a lot of children out there.
7:21:21 > 7:21:25- You're doing exactly that. High five, well done. Amazing.- Thank you.
7:21:25 > 7:21:30'What an achievement for Ellie, and an unforgettable day for Sameena.

7:21:42 > 7:21:44APPLAUSE
7:21:44 > 7:21:48- I'm so excited.- Absolutely. You may have noticed we are now outside.
7:21:48 > 7:21:51For a very good reason. It's time for Barney's fire-walking challenge.
7:21:51 > 7:21:54Who's excited? CHEERING
7:21:54 > 7:21:57I cannot wait. Karen, you've been training up Barney.
7:21:57 > 7:22:00- How has he been getting on? Are you feeling confident?- Absolutely.
7:22:00 > 7:22:02He has done amazing so far,
7:22:02 > 7:22:05and he's doing everything I've asked of him. So far.
7:22:05 > 7:22:10So far! That's good. Now, I can feel it's boiling hot down here.
7:22:10 > 7:22:11The fire's gone down a little bit.
7:22:11 > 7:22:14It has burned down to that beautiful ember state.
7:22:14 > 7:22:17At the sides, it is about 660 Celsius.
7:22:17 > 7:22:21The centre we've raked out, it has gone down to about 300.
7:22:21 > 7:22:23300 still?
7:22:23 > 7:22:26We still have that beautiful 20-foot barbecue for you, Barney.
7:22:26 > 7:22:27- OK.- Thank you(!)
7:22:27 > 7:22:29Also, we're very green here on Blue Peter,
7:22:29 > 7:22:33and we can use the embers afterwards and put them on the veg patch.
7:22:33 > 7:22:37- Lovely. In the meantime, let's do the challenge.- How are you feeling?
7:22:37 > 7:22:40- I know you can't feel this at home - it is so hot.- So hot.
7:22:40 > 7:22:43There's nothing that says I would want to walk on that.
7:22:43 > 7:22:45It's all very well talking about it earlier on.
7:22:45 > 7:22:48Now we're here, and I can feel that heat, it doesn't seem possible.
7:22:48 > 7:22:50But you've given me all I need to have, to do it.
7:22:50 > 7:22:54- So... Hold me! Hold me. - You two have a little cuddle!
7:22:54 > 7:22:57- It's worth just saying, do not try this at home.- You wouldn't want to.
7:22:57 > 7:22:59Barney's been trained by a professional.
7:22:59 > 7:23:01- You wouldn't want to either. - Don't do it.
7:23:01 > 7:23:03Yes, you would, with me!
7:23:03 > 7:23:05This is the bit where I say, Karen, it's over to you.
7:23:05 > 7:23:07- Go on, Barney. - Go on, Barns.
7:23:07 > 7:23:11- Here we go, step up.- Go on, Barney. Good luck, Barney.
7:23:11 > 7:23:13That's insanely hot. I can feel that here.
7:23:13 > 7:23:15Stand tall. Breathe deep. Here we go!
7:23:15 > 7:23:17- What's your name?- Barney!
7:23:17 > 7:23:19- Are you ready?- Yes! - Show me, Barney, let's go!
7:23:19 > 7:23:21SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
7:23:23 > 7:23:25WHOOPING AND CHEERING
7:23:26 > 7:23:28Let's take a look at that again.
7:23:28 > 7:23:32- That was amazing. He went so, so fast, didn't he?- So calm.
7:23:32 > 7:23:35- Very calm.- You wouldn't even know it was hot.
7:23:35 > 7:23:38How are you doing that? Look at your feet.
7:23:38 > 7:23:42Barns, you did so well. For people at home who don't know,
7:23:42 > 7:23:45- how did that feel on your feet? - If you've ever been on holiday,
7:23:45 > 7:23:48on really hot sand, it's a bit like that.
7:23:48 > 7:23:50Like little nips on your feet as you go over.
7:23:50 > 7:23:52- Good, though, I enjoyed it, thank you.- Brilliant.
7:23:52 > 7:23:55Karen, thank you so much for training Barney.
7:23:55 > 7:23:58- You've done brilliantly, Barney. - A round of applause.
7:23:58 > 7:23:59APPLAUSE
7:23:59 > 7:24:03What a start to 2016. I can hardly see the cameras.
7:24:03 > 7:24:06If you want to know what else is coming up this year, check this out.
7:24:07 > 7:24:10One thing's guaranteed, we're going to have fun.
7:24:15 > 7:24:17Action.
7:24:17 > 7:24:20Mia is about to make her Wolf Blood debut.
7:24:21 > 7:24:23Keep driving, keep driving, keep driving!
7:24:23 > 7:24:25Whoo!
7:24:26 > 7:24:28There is no way she's going to find me.
7:24:39 > 7:24:43This challenge is going to be...so tough.
7:24:43 > 7:24:44We're in LA!
7:24:46 > 7:24:50It absolutely hums down here. Ugh.
7:24:54 > 7:24:55Woohoo!
7:24:55 > 7:24:58- We are going to have fun, I'll high five to that.- Yes.- Got you!- Ugh.
7:25:00 > 7:25:04- Bring it on.- What that means is, you've got to watch all year.
7:25:04 > 7:25:06At the start of the show, we asked you to tell us
7:25:06 > 7:25:09what you think we should do in 2016. We've had loads of comments.
7:25:09 > 7:25:11To kick things off, Beryl Kicking Baboon says,
7:25:11 > 7:25:14"I think Barney should learn how to play the bagpipes."
7:25:14 > 7:25:17- That's a great idea. - A really good challenge.
7:25:17 > 7:25:20Azure Laughing Owl - this you'll like, Radzi - says,
7:25:20 > 7:25:23"I think they should do a little dance on every episode."
7:25:23 > 7:25:26- I'm going to do another one right now.- He's been doing these all day.
7:25:26 > 7:25:28He does it so well, look at him.
7:25:28 > 7:25:31Beryl Autumn Centaur, this is a genius idea,
7:25:31 > 7:25:33"Do a back-to-the-future show,
7:25:33 > 7:25:36"and go back to the first-ever Blue Peter episode."
7:25:36 > 7:25:40How amazing is that for an idea?
7:25:40 > 7:25:42Another amazing example, Mustard Neon Hedgehog,
7:25:42 > 7:25:46"Two words - human conkers." I'm in.
7:25:46 > 7:25:49- How do you do that? - I don't know. I'm in.- I'll do it.
7:25:49 > 7:25:52- Boys, are you ready for this one? - Yeah.
7:25:52 > 7:25:53Blue Mandolin Girl says,
7:25:53 > 7:25:57"I think that BP should do a superhuman skydive."
7:25:57 > 7:26:00- Aw!- Thank you for the ideas.- These are amazing ideas, aren't they?
7:26:00 > 7:26:02Thank you for getting in touch.
7:26:02 > 7:26:04If you've been on the Blue Peter Fan Club, by the way,
7:26:04 > 7:26:06you'll know we've been playing Presenter Bingo,
7:26:06 > 7:26:08where one of us says a word throughout the show.
7:26:08 > 7:26:10I said "totally toasty" earlier on.
7:26:10 > 7:26:13The person who spotted that was Opal Hyper Primrose.
7:26:13 > 7:26:16Congratulations. You have won £1 million.
7:26:16 > 7:26:18- No.- You haven't really. No.
7:26:18 > 7:26:20I'm afraid that is all we've got time for.
7:26:20 > 7:26:22Make sure you watch next week, because live in the studio,
7:26:22 > 7:26:25we'll have James, we'll have West, we'll have Eldon,
7:26:25 > 7:26:28- all from The Next Step. - That's right. We love The Next Step.
7:26:28 > 7:26:30- You love them, Linds. - I am a super fan. I love it.
7:26:30 > 7:26:33As well as that, I'm getting a poopy exclusive tour down the sewers.
7:26:33 > 7:26:37- Is that what you're calling it, a poopy exclusive?- Poopy exclusive!
7:26:37 > 7:26:40That's gross! Look at me swim. I'm only joking, I'm not in the water.
7:26:40 > 7:26:42But I am going back to my home town of Blackpool
7:26:42 > 7:26:45to take a look at some endangered species.
7:26:45 > 7:26:48I've got to give you a heads-up for that. Major cute alert.
7:26:48 > 7:26:51There are going to be some cool babies in that film.
7:26:51 > 7:26:52That's the end of today's show.
7:26:52 > 7:26:55Don't forget, we're available in the BP Fan Club every single day.
7:26:55 > 7:26:58- So hot! Can we get our marshmallows out?- Let's go for it.
7:26:58 > 7:27:00See you next week. I'm not doing it again, ridiculous!
7:27:00 > 7:27:02Can I get some cream for my feet, please?
7:27:04 > 7:27:08'Do you get bored waiting for the next episode of Blue Peter?
7:27:08 > 7:27:11'Do you wish there was a place online
7:27:11 > 7:27:14'where you could chat to other BP fans?
7:27:14 > 7:27:20'Would you like to play loads of quick, fun games for free?
7:27:20 > 7:27:23'Then you need the Blue Peter Fan Club Hour.
