“It was exhausting and demanding.”

But Mr Blobby hasn’t been Barry’s only role.

Barry’s television credits include ChuckleVision, Never the Twain, After the War, After Henry, The Monocled Mutineer and Fresh Fields – and he’s also a respected, classically trained Shakespearean actor.

Mr Blobby was the brainchild of British comedy writer Charlie Adams, a writer for the Noel Edmonds show Noel’s House Party.

A bulbous pink figure communicated only by saying the word "blobby" in an electronically altered voice and made his first appearance on the show in 1992.

The character has also made guest appearances on other British shows over the years, including Lovejoy and Keeping Up Appearances.

He even topped the UK Singles Chart with the 1993 Christmas release "Mr Blobby" – which beat Meatloaf to the top spot.
