Mr tumble drama

[tinylittleyou]

So old CBeebies presenter (Sarah-Jane if anyone remembers the olden days of CBeebies) is in the newspapers saying she was best friends with mr tumble but he completely ghosted her after cbeebies sacked her (without even letting her know) when she did an underwear photo for animal rights.
Now mr tumbles mum is in the papers saying its a load of rubbish.
I used to see a lot of CBeebies back then and realised I never noticed that Sarah-Jane disappeared or read about this at the time.
AIBU to think they were a bit harsh and that mr tumble shouldn’t have ignored her?

As a reporter, I love how the journo clearly tried to talk to Justin, but only got as far as tracking down his mum. However, she turned this failure into a hard-hitting story about a mum's loyalty. Brilliant.

The gratuitous bikini etc shots... not so brilliant.

Topless photographs when you're a children's TV presenter does seem like it would be frowned upon. Although Mr Bloom was in panto and they made several jokes about his Dick Whittington.

Andy has always come across as incredibly smug, and is also getting a bit old to be doing his shtick these days. But DS is obsessed with Andy’s Baby Animals, so 🤷‍♀️

Nobody say anything bad about Ranger Hamza, I don’t want to hear it. He looks so angelic and lovely. Also really like Maddie.

I've met Chris & Pui. A long time ago when my kids (who are now 18 & 16) were into CBeebies. They were lovely.

In other news - didn't one of the actors from Lazytown die ( goes off to Google)

Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town died in 2018

Jeez I've just read the article, maybe it was the cocaine habit that lost her the job!

Cboobies hahaha. Genius

I met Chris and Pui too and another who can say how lovely they both are. DC were really shy and nervous about meeting them and tried to hide behind me but both Chris and Pui were really patient until they were happy to speak to them and I just chatted away to them the whole time. I still have their autographs stashed away somewhere.

Didn't Pui also go topless but on a grown up TV show? I think it was The L Word but haven't actually seen it, just vaguely remember someone mentioning it in here in one of the previous Mr Tumble posts.

How could I have forgotten about Ranger Hamza? I love that programme so much and find it so lovely and peaceful to watch.

Ranger Hamza is the best ever. Love him. He looks like he gives amazing hugs too. Not sure why, he just does.

Pui is in Bridget Jones as well in the prison scene

@SummerHouse

I nearly shagged Mr Tumble but it didn't count as he was only Justin.

I'll get my spotty bag....

How has this not been given the kudos it deserves

Can also confirm how lovely Chris Jarvis is.

If that was the case, there wouldn't be anyone left at the BBC

@AdventureCode

I maybe imagining this but wasn't there a very rude photo going round of Mr Tumble doing something entirely inappropriate to a car exhaust . So surely he was in no position to judge anyone.

No it wasn't him, just someone who looked similar. The photo got shared through a few min groups recently 🙈

i feel i am a little over-invested in this thread, having spent nearly an hour reading it and googling various tangents!! ahhh there's an hour I'll never get back!!

I had to see this so I think all should too...

Snog Andy
marry Nigel
Avoid Mr Tumble

@VelveteenChair

The Tweenies was ruined for me when I discovered that Jake grew up to be Mr Tumble.

The man who did the voice of Milo is on TikTok, doing the creepy Milo voice Apparently he is going to talk about his time on tweenies so maybe we could ask him if Mr Tumble was a twat?

I know when I went to Camp Bestival in 2010, we saw him walking across the field to the tent he was performing in, and DD was so excited as she was 4, so she ran over saying "Mr Tumble, Mr Tumble" like on the show and he didn't stop or smile, just blanked her. She cried! Never wanted to watch it after that (thank God)

If that was the case, there wouldn't be anyone left at the BBC

True!

@HarrysWife yes I did!

I think Mr Maker knows something terrible about somebody high up in the BBC. How else does he get an all-expenses-paid holiday to Rio to do a kids' craft programme? Mind, he always says "Where in the world are we today?" and then, nine times pout of ten.... "We.... are....in.... THE UK!!!!!!"

I can never hear Mr Tumble referencing his spotty bag without automatically assuming he's talking about some kind of painful STD that he's picked up.

Anyone remember the PC plum song? Years ago, some MNer said they sang it their head while watching Balamory "I'm PC Plum and I take it up the bum..." . That took up more space in my head than I care to own up to.

Hahaha - and also the little 'bridge' bits, where he sings something like "PC Pluuuuum - keeping you safe now". I always imagine them as his admissions of his corrupt side and find myself singing "PC Pluuuuum - I mugged your granny"; "PC Pluuuuum - I burnt your house down"; "PC Pluuuuum - I drowned your puppy"

I was a bit disappointed when I googled Robert the Robot and saw him without all his makeup and robot gear on.

I can't be toooo specific, but when he's not robotting in Justin's House as his sideline, his main job is on ITV daytime, arbitrating in minor financial disputes between friends, neighbours, colleagues etc.

Noooooooooo. Not Judge Rinder?!

Robert the Robot isn't Judge Rinder. It's a completely different bloke

Mr Tumble always gave me the creeps.
