Nikki Lilly is well known for her CBBC success.
She's won Junior Bake Off, and interviewed many famous people, like politicians and huge film stars, on her show Nikki Lilly Meets.
She's a baker, blogger, author and all-round champion for making the world a better place.

To get a Blue Peter gold badge you must have done one of the following things according to the Blue Peter website:

Acted with outstanding courage, overcome adversity and made life better for another person, or community
Worked independently, inspired others and affected positive change
Extraordinary achievement, against the odds. For example, overcoming adversity and winning an international sporting event
This year, Sir Captain Tom Moore, Joe Wicks and Raheem Sterling have been given gold Blue Peter badges.
Nikki's positivity, bravery and inspiration earned her the most special of Blue Peter badges and she had no idea it was happening either!
