Was Mr Blobby banned
Mummified remains of Mr Blobby found in cupboard Mr Blobby’s mummified remains and, right, in happier times
- By Hugh Dunnett, Crime Correspondent
- Tributes were pouring in for TV star Mr Blobby today after his mummified remains were found in a cupboard.
- The larger-than-life character, known for his house party lifestyle, has not been seen for years and was presumed to have retired.
- But a house clearance at a secluded country home near Ipswich, Suffolk found the remains of the pink star with yellow spots.
- He appeared to be standing in the cupboard, leaning back and clutching a photograph of his pal, Noel Edmonds.
- Startled workmen called police, fearing there may have been foul play at work.
- But a post mortem concluded that, apart from a crime against comedy, Mr Blobby had died of natural causes.
It is now believed Mr Blobby had retired to the grand house at Westerfield. Locals say he had been banned from local pubs because he kept bumping into people.
- One customer, Lorraine Fisher, 34, said: “I wish I could say he kept himself to himself.
- “That’s what people always quote in the local newspaper, isn’t it?
- “But he was a bit of a nuisance, bumping into everyone, spilling drinks, falling over and shouting, ‘Blobby, Blobby, Blobby’.
- “He lived in the big house at the top of the hill.
- “We hadn’t seen him for years, but this discovery explains why.
- “He’s definitely got a crinkley bottom now.”
- Mr Blobby will be given a proper burial at a private funeral.
A police spokesman said: “We are not entirely sure why Mr Blobby died in the cupboard. Perhaps he was trying to fix the door.” Are you sad that Mr Blobby’s mummified remains have been found in a cupboard?

Did Mr Blobby get through BGT?
Mr Blobby appeared on the latest episode of Britain’s Got Talent, which was broadcast earlier this weekend – with viewers having since been speculating about who could be behind the costume Video Loading Video Unavailable Simon Cowell gunged by Mr Blobby on Britain’s Got Talent Britain’s Got Talent viewers have been speculating about the possibility of a celebrity being behind the Mr Blobby costume that featured on the show this weekend.
- The latest episode of the ITV talent show featured an audition by the iconic character – who first appeared on BBC variety show Noel’s House Party back in 1992.
- Mr Blobby was seen attempting a magic act, including a card trick, for the judging panel which consists of Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli,
It concluded with a trick that involved head judge Simon, 63. He was asked to sit inside a ‘disappearing box’ that was on the stage, as his fellow judges waved goodbye. Mr Blobby appeared on Britain’s Got Talent recently ( Image: Dymond/Thames/REX/Shutterstock) The door was subsequently closed but it was teased that the trick hadn’t worked as Simon was still inside the box after the door was opened it.
- Mr Blobby suggested he would try again.
- Shortly afterwards though, pink slime was seen falling down onto Simon.
- The audience and the rest of the judging panel seemed to be in shock as he got covered in slime,
- Mr Blobby was given four red buzzers and subsequently left the stage.
- Simon teased his fellow judges as well as the show’s hosts Ant and Dec by offering to hug them.
The audition has prompted speculation about who’s underneath the costume, with former Britain’s Got More Talent host Stephen Mulhern, 46, having been suggested. One person wrote in a tweet: “I wouldn’t be surprised if that was Stephen Mulhern in the costume”.
Another who felt similarly said: ” kind of cheeky thing he would do.” Simon Cowell ended up getting covered in slime when the character featured on the show ( Image: Dymond/Thames/REX/Shutterstock) Another viewer wrote: “Bet it’s Stephen Mulhern”. Whilst a fourth person speculated in a tweet about the show this weekend: “Mr Blobby was Stephen Mulhern I reckon”.
Stephen fuelled the speculation himself when he tweeted a gif of a Mr Blobby costume earlier this morning. He wrote alongside the clip of the character: “Blobby, Blobby!!” His tweet seemingly led some people to consider it confirmation that it was him behind the costume, though the presenter hasn’t actually confirmed that it was him.
I knew it was you,” said one person in response to his post. Another commented: “Called it”. Whilst a third person responded to Stephen: “I bloody knew it was you”. A number of viewers have speculated that it could have been Stephen Mulhern behind the costume ( Image: Getty Images) Some instead tweeted about the possibility of it having been David Walliams ( Image: Dave Benett/Getty Images) Some people on the platform continued to speculate in response to his recent tweet, with one person having commented: “Is that a hint it might have been possibly you?” Other viewers instead teased about the possibility of former judge David Walliams, 51, being behind the costume.
He had been on the judging panel from 2012 until last year. “Is Mr Blobby David Walliams in disguise,” tweeted one person this weekend following the audition. “Mr Blobby was definitely David Walliams,” another viewer tweeted. “That’s so in the Blobby costume,” commented a third.
Where is Mr Blobby now?
What happened to Barry Killerby? – Barry Killerby appeared in TV series including Chucklevision (Image: BBC) When Blobbymania died down, Barry Killerby continued to act onstage and in various TV programmes including CBBC show Chucklevision. However, he did come out of Mr Blobby retirement to play the character a handful of times, appearing on programmes including The Big Fat Quiz of the 90s, where he chased comedian Jack Whitehall.
What is Mr Blobby Land now?
Cricket St Thomas Mr Blobby during one of his live appearances. Mr Blobby and Noel Edmonds outside the Blobbyland play area. Opening 2nd July 1994, Mr Blobby took over the already thriving Cricket St. Thomas Wildlife Park near Chard, Somerset. The wildlife park, which opened in the 1960s, housed all sorts of wildlife including leopards, zebras, flamingoes, elephants, and ring-tailed lemurs.
- The park enabled visitors to explore Mr Blobby’s house: ‘Dunblobbin’, which imagined what Mr Blobby’s life was like when he wasn’t bouncing around on Noel’s House Party.
- Fans could see Mr, Mrs and Baby Blobby in various live events and have their photo taken with the infamous blob.
- Blobbyland (later named Cuckooland) housed a children’s play area, while the high street provided a glimpse at Crinkley Bottom with shops including a bakery and the Blobby shop.
Two trains took visitors around the grounds and across the valley, boasting picturesque views of the landscape and free roaming deer. ‘Dunblobbin’ – Mr Blobby’s House Cricket House, known as the filming location for ‘To the Manor Born’ Crinkley Bottom High Street with the train, Noddy, and Big Ears The whole Blobby family during a live show Over the large grounds Mr Blobby wasn’t the only children’s character housed at the park. Noddy was a firm favourite with his ‘Noddy in Toytown’ attraction, along with costume characters who fans could meet. ‘The Magic Roundabout’s’ Dougal, Zebedee and friends could be found in the ‘TV’s Family Favourites’ water ride, a dark ride where visitors would be taken through the world of television, passing scenes featuring Doctor Who’s K-9 and a Dalek, The Clangers and Bill & Ben the Flowerpot Men. The Magic Roundabout section of the TV’s Family Favourites ride A side view of Mr Blobby’s house ‘Dunblobbin’ Shops at the park sold a large range of Mr Blobby memorabilia, along with park-specific merchandise including badges, tea-towels and mugs – see our to view these! With the existing wildlife, fame from its use in the BBC’s ‘To the Manor Born’, and huge range of family activities, Crinkley Bottom was a hit during the mid-nineties.
- It was also used as a filming location for Mr Blobby’s second VHS tape, ‘BlobbyVision’.
- In 1999, Warner Leisure bought the park and grounds and began phasing out the wildlife element.
- The park now consists of an adults-only hotel in and around Cricket House with most remnants of Mr Blobby being taken or demolished.

Who has had the most No 1?
Hot 100 Turns 60! Artists With the Most No.1s, From The Beatles to Rihanna & More Over 27,000 songs have graced the in the chart’s 60-year history. Of those, 1,077 have reached No.1 — a select 3.8 percent. In honor of the Hot 100’s 60th anniversary, we’re looking at the best of the best, including the artists with the most No.1s in the chart’s archives.
More specifically, we’re highlighting the nine acts with at least 10 No.1s each; call it the 10-Timers Club, if you will. The list features seven solo artists and two groups. The Beatles, unsurprisingly, lead the way with a record 20 No.1s, all earned between 1964 and 1970. The Fab Four also scored 34 top 10s (second only to Madonna’s 38), hitting No.1 in over half their visits to the top 10.
Notably missing from the list is Elvis Presley, who, in the Hot 100 era, scored seven No.1s. The start of Presley’s career predated the Hot 100, which launched on Aug.4, 1958, meaning that some of his classics, such as “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Hound Dog” and “Jailhouse Rock,” preceded the chart’s existence.
He did, however, reach the summit with “A Big Hunk O’ Love,” “Stuck on You,” “It’s Now or Never,” “Are You Lonesome Tonight,” “Surrender,” “Good Luck Charm ” and “Suspicious Minds.” Here are all nine members of the 10-Timers Club, along with each act’s No.1 hits.

Where was Mr Blobby Goes Shopping filmed?
The tape was priced at £10.99 and was filmed at the Crinkley Bottom Theme Park, Somerset and BBC Television Centre, Wood Lane, London. –
Is Mr Blobby making a comeback
ONE of the biggest stars of the 90s threatens to derail Britain’s Got Talent tomorrow night. The judges – and notably Alesha Dixon – look alarmed as Mr Blobby storms onto the show’s set in a bizarre turn of events. 4 Alesha Dixon looked dismayed at one arrival on Saturday’s show Credit: ITV 4 Mr Blobby appears and starts attempting magic tricks on BGT Credit: ITV 4 At one point Amanda Holden jumps up – as the character collapses Credit: ITV The character, long-time sidekick of Noel Edmonds on Noel’s House Party, appears in Saturday’s show. However, none of the Britain’s Got Talent judges seem particularly keen to see the large pink and yellow monster.
What is Mr Blobby known for?
Mr. Blobby loves you! A strange, strange, strange example of the weirdness of British television in the 1990s, Mr Blobby began life as a character appearing on Noel Edmonds’ variety show Noel’s House Party, Not so much a character as a force of nature, Blobby was a tall, pink blob covered from his overly large head to his overly large feet in yellow spots.
He also boasted a pair of bulging round googly eyes and a permanent toothy grin and, as if this was not weird enough already, he spoke in a highly distorted, nightmarish electronic voice and said only his own name, He appeared on the “Gotcha” sketch on Noel’s House Party which hoaxed celebrities into thinking that Blobby was a popular childrens television character filming an episode about their particular line of work.
Mr Blobby would begin by clumsily trying to take part in whatever activity their celebrity guest was trying to teach him before giving up entirely and resorting to rather violently breaking the set in order to frustrate the unwitting celebrity. After “Gotcha” hit the air the character could no longer be used in the same way but the popularity of the character led to him making frequent appearances in other parts of Noel’s House Party (usually to unleash some chaos and destruction on poor Noel himself).
- 15 Minutes of Fame : Mr Blobby was a hit in the 90s but his popularity faded out once the 2000s began. While he has been making minor appearances in the 2020s, he’ll likely never be as popular as he was in the 90s. Amusement Park of Doom : The final fate of Blobbyland (known also as Crinkely Bottom) is that it was eventually abandoned. This inspired a creepypasta known as The Blobbyland Incident. Breakout Character : Originally, Blobby was meant to prank celebrities by being an obnoxious twat who can’t do anything without falling over himself. His (initial) popularity with British children turned him into a standalone act. Cameo : On several shows. Jeremy Clarkson cameo’d in his music video, as well. Candid Camera Prank : His original purpose. Cover Album : Mr Blobby had one which mostly had covers of other songs with some originals such as his self titled song and A Blobby Christmas. Covered in Gunge : During the Get Your Own Back Christmas special of 1997. Cult : The music video of Mr Blobby very much evokes vibes of this to the lyrics to the children singing his name or the grimy lighting.
- The best part is that it’s very much in line with how people perceive him as a creepy Eldritch Abomination,
- Creepy High-Pitched Voice : Mr.
- Blobby speaks in a distorted, high-pitched voice that fits his very disturbing design.
- This is fitting because he was intended as a parody of children’s show characters.
This is inverted for the song “Mr Blobby” where his voice is far deeper. Distaff Counterpart : The rarely-seen Mrs Blobby. The Dog Bites Back : The celebrities in his original shorts tended to do this, but easily the biggest instance was when footballer Garth Crooks “accidentally” sent Mr., Jack : He looked like a fat, jaundiced baby. That anyone would find that amusing – it’s horrible. I used to have nightmares- Denise : The Teletubbies – Jack : Teletubbies? They’re joyous things! Mr. Blobby is evil, Fake-Out Opening : The eponymous single opens with portentous fanfares and the sound of a rocket launch.22 seconds in, a Record Needle Scratch and a raspberry lead into the actual song. Happily Married : Apparently, The Kiddie Ride : Mr. Blobby became very popular with preschool kids for some reason and actually spawned a see-saw and boat kiddie ride made by Jolly Roger in 1994. The Klutz : His original purpose was to fail at things and cause general destruction. Nightmare Face : Mr Blobby has this plastered on his face 24/7, which is one of the many reasons why he scares people to this day. Pink Means Feminine : Averted ; Mr Blobby is pink and, well, a Mr. Mrs Blobby however plays the trope completely straight. Pokmon Speak : Only says “Blobby”. Or more accurately, “BLOBBY BLOBBY BLOBBY!” The Pratfall : All the time, along with the faceplant variation. Springtime for Hitler : The joke of the original Gotcha sketches was that the celebrity being pranked should really have realised that such an absurd and unsettling character couldn’t possibly be a real children’s TV star. And then he was. Stylistic Suck : It’s all by design, hence why Mr Blobby is a pink blob with yellow spots and a Nightmare Face plastered on it’s face. He was originally a parody of all the obnoxious kid’s show characters appearing in the 90s. Suffice to say, this didn’t translate all that well when he actually became a kid’s show character and he was utterly hated.
How much did Mr Blobby costume sell for
The buyer of an original Mr Blobby costume – who was set to pay £62,000 for the item – has reportedly backed out of the sale. An eBay auction for the piece of TV memorabilia, which is more than 25 years old, attracted huge interest last week. The costume sold for £62,101 but it has now emerged the buyer pulled out of the sale within an hour of placing the large bid.
- The anonymous seller told the BBC: “I thought it would get to a level of £100 perhaps – and so I was shocked really that it reached the level it did.
- I think it was one of those things that was driven by social media.
- Ironically, it was being sold not to make money but to make space.” The Mr Blobby suit was made by the BBC’s costume supplier and was due to be used for Noel’s House Party but the TV show was cancelled before it could be delivered.
Running from 1991 to 1999, Noel’s House Party was a BAFTA-winning light entertainment show. Image: Mr Blobby at the height of his fame in 1993 Earlier, the seller said the costume was in need of a new home after they claimed that neither the broadcaster nor the BBC’s production team wanted it. The costume needed some attention due to its age, with one of the plastic eyes cracked.

Is Mr Blobby Land still there
Noel Edmonds is perhaps most famous for his time on radio and television presenting the hit shows Noel’s House Party in the 90s, and Deal or No Deal. However, it might be a lesser known fact that the TV personality also opened his own Mr Blobby-themed theme park not far from Dorset,
Crinkley Bottom or ‘Blobbyland’ opened at Cricket St Thomas near Chard in Somerset in 1994 and was open for three years until 1997. The site was demolished seven years ago, however, videos and images of the derelict site have resurfaced showing the creepy remains of the once gaudy theme park, SomersetLive reports,
The 11-minute YouTube video includes the TV advertisement for the theme park and footage of the Mr Blobby theme park in its heyday. Footage also shows the attraction in a derelict state, years after its demise, with Mr Blobby’s house overgrown and strewn with rubbish.
What is Mr Blobby Land now?
Cricket St Thomas Mr Blobby during one of his live appearances. Mr Blobby and Noel Edmonds outside the Blobbyland play area. Opening 2nd July 1994, Mr Blobby took over the already thriving Cricket St. Thomas Wildlife Park near Chard, Somerset. The wildlife park, which opened in the 1960s, housed all sorts of wildlife including leopards, zebras, flamingoes, elephants, and ring-tailed lemurs.
The park enabled visitors to explore Mr Blobby’s house: ‘Dunblobbin’, which imagined what Mr Blobby’s life was like when he wasn’t bouncing around on Noel’s House Party. Fans could see Mr, Mrs and Baby Blobby in various live events and have their photo taken with the infamous blob. Blobbyland (later named Cuckooland) housed a children’s play area, while the high street provided a glimpse at Crinkley Bottom with shops including a bakery and the Blobby shop.
Two trains took visitors around the grounds and across the valley, boasting picturesque views of the landscape and free roaming deer. ‘Dunblobbin’ – Mr Blobby’s House Cricket House, known as the filming location for ‘To the Manor Born’ Crinkley Bottom High Street with the train, Noddy, and Big Ears The whole Blobby family during a live show Over the large grounds Mr Blobby wasn’t the only children’s character housed at the park. Noddy was a firm favourite with his ‘Noddy in Toytown’ attraction, along with costume characters who fans could meet. ‘The Magic Roundabout’s’ Dougal, Zebedee and friends could be found in the ‘TV’s Family Favourites’ water ride, a dark ride where visitors would be taken through the world of television, passing scenes featuring Doctor Who’s K-9 and a Dalek, The Clangers and Bill & Ben the Flowerpot Men. The Magic Roundabout section of the TV’s Family Favourites ride A side view of Mr Blobby’s house ‘Dunblobbin’ Shops at the park sold a large range of Mr Blobby memorabilia, along with park-specific merchandise including badges, tea-towels and mugs – see our to view these! With the existing wildlife, fame from its use in the BBC’s ‘To the Manor Born’, and huge range of family activities, Crinkley Bottom was a hit during the mid-nineties.
- It was also used as a filming location for Mr Blobby’s second VHS tape, ‘BlobbyVision’.
- In 1999, Warner Leisure bought the park and grounds and began phasing out the wildlife element.
- The park now consists of an adults-only hotel in and around Cricket House with most remnants of Mr Blobby being taken or demolished.
