BGT fans think they have figured out Mr Blobbys identity

Britain’s Got Talent viewers believe they might have worked out the identity of 90s icon Mr Blobby – after he pulled a magic trick that left Simon Cowell furious.

During Saturday’s episode, the notoriously badly behaved character showcased his magic tricks – and covered the judge in pink gunge.

After performing a card trick, Blobby pulled the show’s head judge Simon, 63, up onto the stage, placing him into ‘Mr Blobby’s Disappearing Box’.

Simon was seen taking a seat before Mr Blobby closed the door, with the crowd cheering.

However, things took a turn for the worse for the music mogul, as when Mr Blobby was seen closing the door, pink slime poured out and deluged Simon.

Simon warned: ‘Don’t touch me! Get away from me!’

As fellow judges Amanda Holden, 52, Alesha Dixon, 44, and Bruno Tonioli, 67 were left astonished – viewers made a guess on who the person behind the costume might be.

‘Mr Blobby was definitely David Walliams #BGT2023 #BritainsGotTalent,’ one viewer wrote.

Another one added: ‘Is Mr Blobby David Walliams in disguise? #bgt #bgt2023 #BritainsGotTalent.’

Another user wrote: ‘Now take your Mr Blobby head off and reveal yourself David Walliams’ #BGT.’

‘That’s so @davidwalliams in the Blobby costume. #BGT,’ another fan said.

Keen to get the other stars of the show involved in the action, Simon was seen hugging show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly in a bid to cover them in slime too.

Created by Charlie Adams, a writer on Noel’s House Party, Mr Blobby is a bulbous pink figure who communicates only by saying the word ‘blobby’.

He topped the UK Charts in 1993 with his Christmas hit Mr Blobby and more recently has appeared on Dancing on Ice, Loose Women and This Morning.

Britain’s Got Talent continues on ITV1 and ITVX next Sunday at 7.40pm.
