Gail has recorded a message in support of the new Blue Peter Sports Badge programme which has been designed to inspire more children to take part in sport.

The flagship children’s programme announced its new plan to give children the chance to earn one of the badges which will be available from July-September this year.

Children will be encouraged to become unofficial sports ambassadors and invite their friends who do not take part in any sport, to join them at their local club or team.

Gail is proud to be involved in the campaign and hopes that it will encourage children to lead healthier lifestyles and develop a passion for sports at a young age.
