No Blue Peter badge for Sajid Javid as he lives the dream at BBC studio

However, when it comes to reliving his childhood, he’ll jump at the opportunity.

Yesterday, Sajid was doing a tour of TV studios, as you do, taking in the Coronation Street set and the BBC’s swish new head­quarters in Salford, Media City.

Unfortunately, poor Sajid had to add: “Wasn’t allowed a badge though”.
