Gethin Jones as Blue Peter Presenter
Gethin's time on Blue Peter saw him take on the most extreme, wonderful, scary and strangest challenges of his life. He flew with the Red Arrows and in a WW2 Spitfire. He was attacked by an alligator in Louisiana, and rode the highest, fastest, tallest rollercoasters in the world. Gethin was also the first person to light a candle at Elvis’s vigil to celebrate the 29th Anniversary of his death. One of Gethin's greatest achievements was to become the first civilian (and Blue Peter presenter) to finish the Royal Marine Commando 30 mile Yomp - he finished in a time of 8hrs 20mins… in about 7 pieces!
