As reported today, 1990's icon Mr Blobby's original costume has sold in auction on Ebay for £61,501!
The piece of TV memorabilia, that found fame on Noel's House Party, is was sold by eBay user blobby01.
You can read more over on Sky News, do you remember Mr Blobby?
In a shocking turn of events, it appears the buyer of the costume has now backed out of the deal, and so the owner will be keeping him a little longer!
Buyer backs out of £62,000 Mr Blobby suit purchase
Despite the winner of the auction bidding 10 times, they pulled out of the sale within an hour of placing the mammoth bid.
The seller mentioned: "Ironically, it was being sold not to make money but to make space."
"I don't think you can lose something you've never had," they added, reflecting on their £62,000 'loss'.

I really want to know who was in the costume!
Such a shame that such an iconic British Character costume is sold online and not in the BBC on display.Hannah - She / Her
