During the E4 reality show, Arg admitted to his male co-stars that he has a huge crush on the 61-year-old Blue Peter legend.
He then revealed that she used to dream about Anthea giving him…a Blue Peter badge.
Arg, 34, told his guy pals: “Anthea does it for me.
“I used to watch her as a kid on the telly and used to dream of her giving me a Blue Peter badge.”

Ten famous faces – five men and five women – are taking part in the new series of The Real Dirty Dancing.
They will all aim to learn the moves from the iconic 80s movie starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.
During the latest instalment, the contestants were put into ‘Johnny and Baby’ pairs – and Arg was desperate to be partnered with ex Blue Peter presenter Anthea.
His desire was heightened after dancing with her in the opening episode.
“She is like a fine wine,” Arg gushed. “She looks even better than when I was a kid.
“When was dancing with her, that was my dream come true.”
