Mr Blobby made an unexpected entrance on This Morning, causing complete chaos with a whirlwind cameo.
The beloved/feared children’s TV figure left his signature brand of mayhem in his path as he came onto the set as Alice Beer was discussing her piece on selling things online after one of his original costumes sold for a large price on eBay last week.
Blobby walked into the studio as if on cue, snatching a vase from Alice’s table and smashing it on the floor before trudging over to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
He hugged Holly before moving on to additional props, and the presenter was delighted by the unexpected surprise.
‘I’ve never missed Mr Blobby before and I’m really excited. He was my Gangnam Style, he was my Baby Shark,’ she gushed.
Blobby didn’t stop there, as he interrupted Carol Vorderman as she tried to introduce her phone-in and hugged her before blocking the camera.
Viewers loved the wild scenes, with one fan tweeting: ‘We need Mr blobby on TV more often!!🤣😆 #ThisMorning’
A different Twitter user hailed Blobby as a ‘hero’, while another added: ‘Naughty Mr Blobby! 😄👍’
The appearance comes after an eBay listing for an original 1990s costume is already up to a leading bid of £61,000 as fans look to own a unique piece of history.
The seller mentioned that a house move means it’s time to find Blobby “a new home,” but they also issued a word of caution for any aspiring entrepreneurs who are already coming up with ideas.
They added: ‘Mr Blobby is trademarked, and therefore subject to copyright. This costume/prop can only be for personal home display use.
‘There can be no unauthorised use – including but not limited to hiring out, lending, public exhibition or any performances. The buyer will be required to sign their agreement of this.’
Blobby first featured on Noel Edmonds’ Noel’s House Party before going solo and appearing in the video for Peter Kay’s charity single Is This the Way to Amarillo in 2005.
The role was created by comic writer Charlie Adams and was originally played by Barry Killerby until 2015, when it was replaced by Paul Denson.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV1.
