ITV This Morning fans say 'what the heck' as Holly Willoughby gasps while Mr Blobby trashes studio

This Morning viewers couldn't quite work out what was going on - or why - as Mr Blobby gatecrashed the studio. The giant pink character made an appearance on the ITV daytime show came as Alice Beer was on hand to offer tips on reselling your items to make some extra cash.

It comes after an original 1990s Mr Blobby costume was spotted for sale in an auction on eBay for nearly £60,000. And with that news, he made a chaotic appearance after being cued onto the set by the show's consumer editor.

He started taking an ornament off of Alice's table on one side of the studio and smashing it on the ground before bounding over to hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, with the latter keen for a hug from the iconic character. But she was soon left gasping when he picked up a vase and smashed it.

And Mr Blobby wasn’t done there, as he interrupted Carol Vorderman as she tried to introduce her phone-in and went in for a hug before he started blocking the camera. He also later appeared to help with the Spin to Win challenge, which also had Phil and Holly in hysterics when Holly made a blunder and threw the whole segment off course.

Those watching the chaos on This Morning unfold were then flocking to social media to comment. @MissChloeMarie_ tweeted: "What the heck just happened #ThisMorning." @DavidMackayy said: "Mr Blobby casually destroying the #thismorning set, love it." @sophie6_ laughed: "Mr blobby causing havoc on #ThisMorning who'd have thought it."
