Blue Peter dog to retire after 14 year shift

March 10th, 2010

 

Blue Peter have confirmed that the show's dog Mabel will be leaving the show after 14 years.

Producers announced today that the long-running children's programme would be parting ways with their veteran Border Collie Cross dog when she retires on March 30th.

Mabel said of the departure: "Grrrrr. ROWF! ROWF! Only kidding. I've had a splended time on the show. All that business with the naming of the cat was a bit of a ball-ache, but apart from that, I've had more fun than George Best in a naked brewery tour. However, it's time to hang up the lead... I can't be arsed with the long days to be honest with you. I just want to lick my genitals and eat pies now."

Today, the show announced that nine-year-old Florence Jackson from Bristol is the winner of the Royal Mint's Design a 50p Coin competition. Florence will be the first child in British history to design a circulation coin.

How great it that?

The competition was launched to tie in with London 2012.
