Glamorous ex-Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon who starred in the BBC show for three-and-a half years, will be a special guest helping Blue Peter to celebrate its 50th birthday in October.
Said Zoe yesterday: “I got a phone call from the production team to say that they are putting together special programmes and events for its 50th birthday.
“I am sure that it will be amazing!”

And yesterday, she took time off from another new high-profile telly series — the Nickelodeon channel’s reality fashion show Bratz Design Academy.

“We started filming last Friday and will be working solidly on it for the next few weeks. But they very kindly released me to come home and judge the High School musical competition,” added Zoe.

“I’m due back at work on Bratz at 8am on Sunday — I haven’t actually had a day off since I left Blue Peter. My first day off is on September 7!

Things couldn’t be better for Zoe right now with Hot Rods — made by the Deal or No Deal team — due to start on August 30 and Bratz Design Academy scheduled for October.

“It’s a dream come true for me to do a game show like Hot Rods and now to be doing a massive big TV fashion project.
“I know that I am really fortunate. It is great that I have already ticked two boxes — two things that I really wanted to do.”source

Premiering on Nickelodeon in the fall: "Bratz Design Academy," a "Project Runway"-type competition in which contestants design and show outfits.
Twelve children (girls and boys aged from nine to 14) will compete in teams of two to prove their abilities as fashion designers. The winners will be flown to Los Angeles to design new outfits for the Bratz dolls.
“Bratz Design Academy will be the biggest entertainment event for kids this season,” said Ron Brawer, President of MGA Entertainment. “We wanted to create a show which was original, empowering and interactive, and this totally represents what Bratz are all about – friendship, self expression and creativity for all boys and girls, wherever they’re from.”
