Iconic BBC children’s show Blue Peter is facing a major change for the first time in 60 years on TV.

According to reports, the show will no longer be live with episodes now pre-reordered, leaving staff and viewers upset.

It comes as the former star of Blue Peter, Simon Thomas took to Instagram, to share his upset: “Apparently (I had no idea) today is the last ever LIVE Blue Peter on television.

“The show isn’t finishing, there is apparently going to be a show online; just not live on the TV anymore."
