The show, which is being moved as part of the BBC’s plans to switch children’s channel CBBC to an online platform due to a change in children’s viewing habits, has long had links to Blackpool.
Its presenters have been drawn to the resort for all kinds of Blue Peter items over the years, whether it be trips to the iconic Pleasure Beach or environmental projects involving our shoreline.
And youngsters from the town have often supported Blue Peter campaigns for various good causes over the years.
Then there was the story of a young man from the resort who was awarded a vast array of Blue Peter badges.
These badges, featuring the Blue Peter ship logo, became well known in their own right.
Elsewhere, two Fylde coast brothers were featured on the programme after completing a truly epic charity cycle ride.
Here we take a photo journey looking at the programme’s Blackpool and Fylde coast connection.
