Product Information

Most people will recognise the infamous pink and yellow spotty character. Now, you can get your hands on the real thing - even if the arms do need re-attaching.

In November 2018, during Noel Edmonds' appearance on the eighteenth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, Mr Blobby made guest appearances on Loose Women and This Morning and was interviewed about Edmonds' time on the show. [15] [16] Mr Blobby might not be a regular fixture on our TV screens anymore, but it doesn't mean he has left the limelight - making a series of onscreen cameos in recent years. After introducing the popular Gotcha segments, where Noel Edmonds would prank celebrities, Michael began to wonder how they would continue to catch out the stars for future episodes - with many already figuring out that Noel might be there to prank them.After witnessing Noel Edmonds prank Eamonn Holmes while wearing a monster costume, a spark was lit - and Michael got to work on what would become undoubtedly one of the 90s biggest icons. Pascoe says he’s not surprised Edmonds has retired to New Zealand “after everything he’s been through”, referring to Unique Television falling victim to huge bank fraud in 2017. “Obviously, that impacted our relationship, although I did hear from him the other night.” Has Blobby been to visit Edmonds in New Zealand?” “You realise Mr Blobby is like Father Christmas or the tooth fairy, and not real?” Whatever is he talking about? Consequently as it is now over 25 years old, there is the inevitable ageing to the foam and the rubberised coating. This means it is less suitable to be worn as the unit is not [as] supple as it was in 1996.” During the episode, the Loose Women panel then said that Mr Blobby had returned, with Christine Lampard saying: "Carol, we have actually got a little bit of a surprise for you," before revealing that it was a joke.

No one on the tube seems to understand the motto: “If you see something unusual, report it to staff …” But, after squishing through the barriers at Piccadilly Circus, I’m a bona fide celebrity. Buses toot, tourists pose, small children look terrified and motorists yell: “Blobby!” out of their windows. At the time of writing, the Blobby costume has already had an incredible 71 bids, and with nearly a week left of the auction, could go up by several more thousands of pounds.
