We've got a magical announcement to make... magician Joel Mawhinney is our brand new Blue Peter presenter ✨

We know that Joel is a master magician, but we're so excited to find out more! 

What is Joel's favourite animal? Would he prefer to be a dragon, or have a dragon as a pet...?

What were Joel's best and worse subjects at school... and most importantly does Joel like pineapple on his pizza...?
