Anyone else spot the knitted character sat atop the wall of fame?

I noticed it on Jools Holland last week. I wonder if other programmes are so
happy to play ball because they like the show or because they are terrified
of being mocked on it if they refuse?

I spotted it on Jools piano last week but forgot to get my entry in on time.
Not that I'm missing any great prize or anything...

This is the most powerful sigfile in the world and will probably blow your
head clean off.

I'll be impressed when they put it on Dispatches or one of the adult
channels on Sky.

I saw him on I'm A Celebrity on Saturday and entered the comp... but
I've seen people posting on other forums that he's also appeared on
Something for the Weekend, CBBC, MOTD and This Morning since then so who
knows!! There must be imposters about.

We saw it too - turn over and there it was , can't stand Jools Holland
and would never have watched but there it was just flopped on the piano.
Of course when we pointed out we'd seen it to the kids on Sat night they
went ballistic!!

God knows what the number is!

It was on Graham Norton tonight, stuck to the guitar of the band's
guitarist during Shirley Bassey's performance at the end.

See it on iPlayer

And now Mrs Dean tells me it was on Monday's Graham Norton - attached to a
guitar.
Is someone taking the piss?
