Backstage at the BP birthday photoshoot!

To celebrate Blue Peter's Big Birthday, we invited some of the past presenters back to for a very special photoshoot! In this clip, we go behind the scenes and see what happened when some of Britain's best-loved presenters were reunited. Comment below with your thoughts on the photos!

Party Time!

Blue Peter presenters Anthea Turner, Lindsey Russell, Janet Ellis, Peter Purves, Valerie Singleton, Leila Williams, Peter Duncan, Konnie Huq, Helen Skelton and Radzi Chinyanganya all got together to celebrate Blue Peter turning 60!

Looking very smart and happy after meeting some of the previous presenters!

Leila Williams is celebrating 60 years of Blue Peter...

Leila Williams was one of the very first Blue Peter presenters in 1958. We think she's going to be the life and soul of the party - even though she's over 80!

Peter Purves brings the advent crown

The Blue Peter advent crown is almost as old as the show itself and Peter - who was a presenter in the 1960s and 1970s - can remember lighting the advent crown all the way back then!

Helen Skelton is back!

Helen only left the show five years ago, but was so happy to be back and to remember all her amazing challenges - like when she got to fly in an RAF Red Arrow.

PRESENT and correct is Peter Duncan!

Peter was a presenter in the 1980s and he did some incredible things during his time on the show - he's now an actor and was even in a show about Blue Peter in Edinburgh this summer!

Anthea Turner and Tracy Island

Anthea Turner was reunited with Blue Peter's most famous make - Tracy Island. We love her glittery dress!
