She's a baker, blogger, author and all-round champion for making the world a better place.

Blue Peter recognised all of this and more, and so decided she deserved their most esteemed award... a Blue Peter gold badge.

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

  • Acted selflessly, but responsibly, with a single act of bravery that saved the life of another person
  • 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!

Presenter Lindsey Russell surprised her with the badge during a bake and Nikki was well and truly blown away.

Nikki also got a 'well done' message from singer and X-factor judge, Nicole Scherzinger.

Nikki puts a lot of her time into raising awareness about good mental health, and her work on speaking out about online bullying and how to deal with negative comments has helped lots of children.

What a fantastic way to mark Anti-bullying Week - well done Nikki!
