Mr Blobby's Theme Park Has Been Left To Rot And It's A 90s Kid's Worst Nightmare

The squalid remains of ‘Dunblobbin’ in Somerset have fallen into complete disrepair since it was closed in 1999


Two decades, Mr Blobby was one of the most famous faces on Saturday night TV and even had a Christmas number one single.

But these eerie pictures show how a theme park dedicated to Noel Edmonds' pink sidekick still stands - but has fallen into rotting neglect.

The scene inside 'Dunblobbin' in Somerset is every 90's kid's worst nightmare - Blobby's stately home in a squalid state with anti-Blobby and Edmonds graffiti scrawled on the walls.

There are also doors hanging off, a picket fence wrecked and general chaos inside the all-pink 'attraction'.

For those too young to remember, Mr Blobby was a household name in the 90s and a character in Noel Edmonds' House Party.

The Crinkley Bottom theme park - as it was called - opened in 1994 by Edmonds at the height of Mr Blobby’s fame.

However its run-down state mirrors the pink and yellow mumbler's spectacular fall from grace from his one time starring role on Noel's House Party. 

Mr Blobby soon after became a figure for ridicule when the New York Times described the pink and yellow mumbler as 'a metaphor for a nation gone soft in the head'.

The Crinkley Bottom theme park was sold in 1999 and while most was renovated and turned into a hotel and wildlife park, the annexed house was left to rot.

The explorer who uncovered the lost house, known as Urbanexboi, said: ‘It was strange to see the place after watching Noel's House Party as a child in the 90s.

‘Dunblobbin was different from my usual stuff, but we decided it would be something different and worth doing.

‘I’m glad I managed to see it as it has recently been bulldozed into history now. It was a very strange experience for me.’
