Mr Blobby caused chaos on Good Morning Britain (GMB) on Friday morning, knocking presenter Kate Garraway off her chair in a moment viewers described as 'hilarious'. The iconic pink and yellow spotty character, first appearing on BBC's Noel's House Party in 1992, made a special appearance on the ITV breakfast show.
Chaos Unfolds Live on Air
During the segment, Richard Arnold explained that Mr Blobby's costume is set to go under the hammer, expected to fetch up to £5,000 at auction. As the character waddled on stage, he immediately fell over, prompting Richard to shout 'health and safety'! Mr Blobby then sat on Richard's lap before moving over to Kate and toppling onto his front, bringing the I'm A Celebrity star down with him.
Kate, laughing off the incident, told Mr Blobby: 'Don't worry […] Lean on me, I'm a bit of a blobby myself.' The presenter remained in good humour despite the unexpected tumble.

The scenes of carnage provided entertainment for those watching at home. Elaine on X wrote: 'You just made my morning with Mr Blobby.' Bev H referenced the hot weather, saying: 'I'm considering how much money I'd have to be paid to put that suit on today and it's a lot!' Marc Wilson called Mr Blobby a 'nutcase'.
The incident became a trending topic, with many praising the lighthearted moment on the breakfast show.
