Wheelchair racer Abby Cook has been announced as the newest presenter joining the Blue Peter line-up.
Recalling the moment she found out that she’d been chosen for the role, Abby said: ‘I was speechless when I found out, I had to check it was true, it was a very emotional moment knowing I would actually be presenting a show I love and had grown up with.’
She also works with Scottish Disability Sport as a mental health project administrator, and she trains twice a week as a wheelchair racer with Paralympians as part of the Forth Valley Flyers.
