She first jumped on our screens in the early 80s and immediately made history as the youngest Blue Peter presenter on the silver screen.
And four decades later, Sarah Greene, 66, looks like she’s barely aged a day since she left the show. The veteran TV star left The One Show fans gobsmacked on Friday (May 3) when she appeared on the programme in a colourful minidress.
The blonde bombshell wowed viewers with her bubbly personality as she flashed her pearly whites while she spoke to hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kempt on the show. It didn’t take long before fans flooded to X – formerly known as Twitter – to shower her with compliments on her age-defying looks.

Sarah returned to the limelight last year after taking a decade-long break from showbizness following the death of her husband Mike Smith. Mike, who ran his own aerial filming firm, sadly died after complications relating to heart surgery at the age of 59.
Earlier in his life, the star enjoyed a career in broadcasting as a BBC Radio 1 DJ and even went on to present on Top Of The Pops. After his death, Sarah took over running his business and was largely absent from telly.
The only exception she would make is the occasional guest appearance hosting This Morning, which saw her reunited with ex-colleague Phillip Schofield. Sarah was just 22 years old when she replaced Tina Heath on Blue Peter in 1980.

After three years on the show – during which time she bagged a BAFTA – she moved on to host the Saturday Superstore show alongside Mike Reed and then Going Live! With Schofield. During her time on Going Live! Sarah scooped up an award for Best Female on TV at the SOS Awards for three years running.
But it hasn’t always been easy for Sarah, after she and her husband had a brush with death when the pair were involved in a helicopter crash back in 1988. Fortunately, they returned to the silver screen not long afterwards and went on to form a successful on-screen partnership on BBC’s Hospital Watch years later.
Speaking about stepping away from the industry after Mike’s death, Sarah previously told The Mirror: “Offers of TV came in but for a long time I was trying to learn this new business but also feeling too raw.

“Only time can help that, you know when you feel ready when you have that energy.” More than a decade after his death, Sarah revealed that she was in a relationship with Mike’s friend and former touring car champion Robb Gravette.
During an appearance on the My Time Capsule podcast last year, she explained: “I sort of know Mike is pulling so many strings in my life. He has undoubtedly been responsible for me meeting my beloved who was one of his oldest friends, who waited a certain amount of time but did keep leaving messages on the answering machine.
“I thought he was just being kind. Then I got a message saying, ‘For God’s sake, Greeno, Robb is trying to make contact with you because he actually wants to take you out, not because he’s kind. So will you get off you a**e and go and answer the phone next time it rings!’

“And lo and behold, a whole new conversation started. I’m sure, and Robb is very sure too, because it’s a very strange situation. I remember being terribly worried and saying to this dear man who I’d know for all these years, ‘Isn’t it strange coming into the house and seeing all these pictures everywhere or Mike?’
“He said, ‘No, no, it’s not strange. It’d be strange if they weren’t there. And remember, I love him too.” Last summer, Sarah returned to the silver screen as she teamed up with Roman Kemp for a new BBC game show.
The Finish Line welcomes five contenders each episode to battle it out in a race for a cash prize. And the series is set to return with a bang this year, with a whole new cast of contestants ready to take on the challenge.
