Britain's Got Talent viewers got the giggles last night (June 1) as Mr Blobby replaced Simon Cowell. The ITV talent competition returned for another semi-finals instalment on Thursday night, with gifted hopefuls delivering a round of showstopping performances to an excited audience and astounded judges.
But things didn't seem as they should at the beginning of the semi-final, as only three of the four anticipated judges stepped out into a roaring Eventim Apollo. Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli were joined by 1990s TV icon Mr Blobby, who assumed Simon Cowell's place.
Chaos ensued, with Mr Blobby, who clearly hadn't been given permission to be part of the show, attacking presenter Ant McPartlin before diving off stage and being removed by security. As Mr Blobby was dragged away, Simon, 63, finally made an appearance as Ant and Dec informing viewers that the bulbous pink character had been banished from the premises.
