As part of the award, Jonathan Ive will appear in a pre-filmed part of this Saturday?s show which will be a gadget special, offering advice on the latest technology to its viewers.
In the pre-filmed segment he reviewed designs sent in by children and recalled how he had enjoyed watching one of Blue Peter's past presenters reuse a detergent bottle to create a paintbrush holder. "I loved the way there was just products that you thought were no longer useful, but reusing them," he said. "It was fantastic."
Sir Jonathan, known as Jony, described the news as "absolutely incredible". He also presented the show with his own version of the Blue Peter badge made out of solid aluminium, manufactured by Apple's equipment, using the programme's catchphrase: "Here's one that we made earlier".
The Blue Peter Gold badge has only been awarded to around 1000 people during the lifetime of the show. Sir Jonathan Ive will be in good company sharing the accolade with the likes of David Beckham and the Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
