Original Mr Blobby costume from the '90s goes up for sale on eBay

Depending on how you look at it, he's either the embodiment of how Saturday night family TV should be done, or the most annoying thing to ever appear on our screens. Nevertheless, despite that spotty pink body, awful voice and innate ability to wreck everything around him, Mr Blobby still managed to carve out a hugely successful entertainment career.

Indeed, at his peak during the '90s he was beamed into the living rooms of millions around the nation every weekend. And despite Noel's House Party - the BBC One show on which he shot to fame - having left the air at the turn of the millennium, Blobby is still ubiquitous in the minds of many who watched his small screen exploits.

And now he could be yours - sort of. Because Blobby's infamous and instantly recognisable foam rubber costume has gone up for sale on eBay, with the current top bid standing at a whopping £8,200.
