Britain's Got Talent fans think they've worked out who was in the Mr Blobby suit after chaos

Britain’s Got Talent viewers think they know who was in Mr Blobby costume after Simon Cowell was brought on stage in a hilarious act on Saturday night’s show, May 6.

TV icon Mr Blobby made an appearance on the popular talent show taking to the stage to audition for a place at the Royal Variety Performance.

Simon, however, wasn’t too unimpressed to see Mr Blobby. "I actually hate Mr Blobby,” he said to his fellow judging panel.

Poll: What is the best beer garden in Nottinghamshire?

"For the younger viewers who don't know who he is he's TV royalty," explained hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly about the pink and yellow spotted figure.

As reported in Manchester Evening News, Blobby, who had a Christmas number one hit in 1993 with the song Mr Blobby, attempted to do magic in a chaotic audition. After trying to do a card game, he brought Simon on to the stage.

The head judge gave a wave goodbye as he went inside a 'disappearing box.' In a hilarious attempt to do the trick, Simon didn’t disappear and the box malfunctioned covering him in pink gunge.

Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli were left shocked as Amanda was clinging to Alesha as she couldn't stop laughing.

Fans were excited to see Mr Blobby, as they tried to guess who was inside the iconic costume. @ArrowsandCheese tweeted: "I’m going out on a limb, that’s @StephenMulhern in that Blobby suit"

@StefanWolves90 also thought Stephen, who presented BGT's sister show Britain's Got More Talent until it was axed in 2019, was in disguise, "Stephen mulhern is Mr blobby," they decided. And @matthudson35 asked: "So there is only one question tonight - was @StephenMulhern Mr. Blobby on #bgt #bgt2023 tonight to get back at Mr. Cowell? #slimed."

@garyhayles85 said: "Mr Blobby was either David Waliams Or Stephen Mulhern." And @jemmabondc asked: "Are you sure Mr Blobby wasn't Stephen Mulhern?"

@Nozzzaaaaa laughed: "Hahahahaha Simon Cowell getting gunked by Mr Blobby - TV Gold." And @Spinkzilla gasped: "NOOOOOO! Don't say...You talkin'....YOU tellin' me THE Mr. Bobby was on #BGT."

@TheRealDeclanK1 said: "That was hilarious with Mr Blobby." And @tinablud_said: "Simon getting slime pour onto him from Mr Blobby was the funniest thing."
