One of the biggest names from nineties Saturday night TV is set to make his return.
Mr Blobby originally featured on the British Saturday night variety show Noel’s House Party, broadcast on BBC One with host Noel Edmonds.
Blobby communicated only by saying the word ‘blobby’ and was well known for causing mass destruction wherever possible.
And now he is reportedly returning after finding a new generation of younger fans thanks to online clips.
According to The Sun, the character’s owner Unique Television has lodged paperwork online to protect Mr Blobby’s trademark ahead of his ‘triumphant return’.
The pink polka dot creature even had a Christmas No 1 in 1993 with novelty self-titled hit Mr Blobby.

However after Noel’s House Party was axed in 1999, Blobby also stepped away from TV, aside from a few cameos including an appearance in Peter Kay’s 2005 charity hit (Is This the Way to) Amarillo.
His TV return is expected to include promo appearances and TV spots.
Last year Noel was also reunited with his House Party sidekick during an episode of Good Morning Britain.
Chaos ensued with the pink, spotty family favourite joined Noe on the show and tried to give him a hug, messed up the studio and turned over a table.
Talking about Mr Blobby he said: ‘He calls me most days. He’s not the most entertaining conversation! I feel sorry for him.
When Mr Blobby came in and tried to hug him, Noel told him: ‘I’m not doing a radio station for you it is boring! He makes Ed [Balls] look slim!’
The appearance caused a social media buzz, an insider has now revealed: ‘Mr Blobby was booked to support publicity of Noel Edmonds’ travel show Kiwi Adventure and came on to surprise his old pal.
‘The thinking is Blobby is one of those legacy talents that encapsulates everything people love about British entertainment. He’s silly but harmless, it’s that old school prank comedy at the heart of what ITV do.

Noel Edmonds has bought a house in the UK after his reality show about his New Zealand estate was axed by ITV – despite rave reviews from critics and fans
‘You can just see him popping up in a Big Brother trial or Celebrity Sabotage, which is all about pranks. It celebrates the old while embracing the new.’
It comes after it was revealed in August that Noel has bought a house in the UK after his reality show about his New Zealand estate was axed by ITV – despite rave reviews from critics and fans.
The three-part series, Noel Edmonds’ Kiwi Adventure, hit the channel on June 20th.
The show followed the former Deal Or No Deal host, 76, as he showcased his new life in the Island Country alongside wife Elizabeth Davies, 55.
But ITV bosses pulled the plug after just one series and the telly legend has purchased a home in the Isle of Man – and has plans to spend time both there and in New Zealand.
Noel told Manx Radio: ‘I came for the very first time three years ago, and when you consider I lived in the UK all my life and I knew where it was geographically, I don’t know why I didn’t come before.
‘I have purchased a property on the island, and I intend to spend some of the year here, but my principal home is New Zealand.’
‘What’s drawn me to the Smile of Man… you’re bloody proud of the island, you’re proud of the community, and across the water there [in the UK], you don’t get that anymore,’ he added.
