Derry YouTuber Adam B to become Blue Peter presenter
- 4 years ago
Local YouTuber Adam B is to join the world’s longest running children’s TV show, Blue Peter, as a presenter.
Adam Beales will become the 40th Blue Peter presenter and will co-host alongside Lindsey Russell, Richie Driss, Mwaka Mudenda and Henry the dog, in his first show this Thursday, September 3.
YouTuber Adam, 20, is already familiar with the CBBC audience as he is a regular face on The Dog Ate My Homework.
He left St Columb’s College as Head Boy with 11 GSCE’s at A* and was considering attending Oxford or Cambridge before his YouTube channel took off.
His channel now has nearly three million subscribers and often features his mum and dad and younger brother, 11-year-old Callum.
He’s best known for posting pranks, challenges, DIY crafts and life hacks, so he should slot right in with the ‘here’s one I made earlier’ creations on the show as well as the formidable challenges the presenters have to undertake.
Adam follows in the footsteps of fellow Northern Ireland presenters, the late Caron Keating and, more recently, presenter number 30, Zoe Salmon.
“I’m super excited to become Blue Peter Presenter number 40,” Adam said. “I am humbled and ecstatic to be part of such a legendary production. It’s kind of weird - in a super exciting way - that the show I once watched when I was younger, is now the show I will be presenting along with the talented Lindsey, Richie, Mwaksy and of course, Henry.
“I can’t wait to get stuck in, even with the challenges they throw at me, though I am hoping none of them involve cheese – I hate cheese!”
