Sticky back
What tawdry and disgraceful things have Blue Peter presenters done after leaving the show? Allegedy.
Richard Bacon (1997-98): left the show under a cloud - a very white powdery sort of a cloud.
Janet Ellis (1983-87): left the show to have a baby out of wedlock, though that wasn't our Sophie.
Michael Sundin (1984-85): left the show in a blaze of unpublicity to die from a mystery illness.
Anthea Turner (1992-94): left the show to become the career sacrifice on Celebrity Big Brother.
Lesley Judd (1972-79): left the show to become the 'Mole' on the Adventure Game.
Peter Duncan (1980-84) (1985-86): left the show to feature in a number of very dodgy videos.
Valerie Singleton OBE (1962-72): left the show to have absolutely no boyfriends, infamously.
Diane-Louise Jordan (1990-96): left the show to give Aled Jones a run for his money on Songs of Praise.
Peter Purves (1967-78): left the show to foist Junior Kickstart onto an unsuspecting audience.
Katy Hill (1995-2000): left the show to drag Saturday morning telly into a chasm of bland despair.
John Noakes (1965-78): left the show to give Magpie a chance to succeed in the ratings war.
Sarah Greene (1980-83): left the show to face mortal danger from Mike Smith's chopper.
John Leslie (1989-94): the odd one out here - has clearly done nothing tawdry and disgraceful at all.
