8. Barry Killerby (Mr. Blobby)

Everyone's heard of Mr. Blobby, right? But did you know that the man inside Noel Edmonds' pink and yellow-spotted creation was an actor in his own right? Probably not. Barry Killerby is both a minor TV actor and respected, classically-trained Shakespearean stage actor. Bet you didn€™t see that last part coming! His television credits include ChuckleVision, Never the Twain, After the War, After Henry, The Monocled Mutineer and Fresh Fields in a career that has spanned four decades, but none of his roles have come close to the high profile of the bumbling, loud, annoying and clumsy star of Noel's House Party.
