Ed Sheeran has designed a new ‘Blue Peter’ badge, which is being launched by the long-running BBC children’s show as part of the broadcaster’s annual Music Day.

BBC Music Day is tomorrow, by the way, and the new music themed badge will be officially unveiled on a special edition of ‘Blue Peter’, at 5.30pm. As well as Sheeran himself, Paul McCartney will also appear on the show.

“I’ve always loved ‘Blue Peter’ and even got the chance to present the show a while back, so I’m made up that I got to design their first ever badge for BBC Music Day”, says Sheeran. “Music was really important to me growing up and I hope this badge will inspire more kids to get into it”.

Kids who want to get their hands on the Sheeran-designed badge need to write in to the programme and explain how they enjoy making music. Is it really that easy to get a ‘Blue Peter’ badge? I always thought there was more to it than that. You can download an application form for this and all the various other ‘Blue Peter’ badges here.

After you’ve watched ‘Blue Peter’ on CBBC tomorrow, you can watch Mark Ronson reading a bedtime story on CBeebies at 6.50pm. There’s other BBC Music Day stuff going on too, but you can look that up for yourself.
