Celebrities' In the Night Garden designs for Children in Need auction

Igglepiggle
Former rugby union World Cup winner Will Greenwood went for a Strictly Come Dancing makeover. If Igglepiggle really was a contestant on the BBC1 show, he would probably prove really popular with viewers - a bit like John Sergeant - and go on to win the thing, much to the fury of Len Goodman Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
Ahhh, ain’t he cute? Actress Isla Fisher went for the Love Bug look. Shame they didn’t ask her other half, Sacha Baron Cohen, to give Igglepiggle a makeover. It may not, however, have been entirely appropriate for Children in Need Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
The good people of OK! magazine shoehorned in a shameless plug for their gossip rag by sticking Igglepiggle in a top branded with the mag's logo. Igglepiggle says: ’Hello!' Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
No, it’s not Justin Hawkins, formerly of comedy rock band the Darkness, but the makeover by Natalie Pinkham of ITV1's Dancing on Ice. Moments later he fell over and badly sprained his ankle Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
Cheeseburger and large fries, please! What the hell, make it a double!' Igglepiggle as Elvis. Months later, the waistband on his jumpsuit would have to be let out by a foot. As designed by TV psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
It’s Robbie Williams Igglepiggle, circa 1996! No, of course not, it's Melanie C, formerly of the Spice Girls. His red blanket appears to have been replaced by the middle section of a Rothko painting. Maybe she ballsed it up and had to scribble all over it. What would Dr Linda make of that? Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
The Daily Mirror went for a radical makeover with 'Ace reporter Igglepiggle'. The bell in his left foot, squeak in his middle and rattle in his left hand means he probably isn’t cut out to be a court reporter. The judge would get very irritated Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
Is it me, or are these becoming a little disturbing? It was bad enough, when I was a kid, when someone designed a green and white suit for Blue Peter's Peter Duncan. Imagine if they had scribbled all over Top Cat. Anyway, this one's courtesy of fashion designer Zandra Rhodes Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
Kids are never too young to get into designer labels, are they? Here Igglepiggle shows off the latest Mulberry coat and Gucci boots. And encourages kids everywhere to ask for a 10,000% increase in their pocket money. Meet Ooh La La Igglepiggle by Elle stylists Lucie McCullin and Emma Milne-Watson Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
This is my favourite so far. Is it yours? Spaceman Igglepiggle and Jetpack Blanket by journalist Paul Rhodes. And we're not just saying that because Paul is a journalist. To infinity, and beyond! Oh hang on, that’s someone else Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
George Sampson plays the OK! card by featuring his name - or initials - no fewer than three times over his Igglepiggle effort. What do you mean, 'Who's George Sampson?’ He won Britain’s Got Talent, of course! Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
I don’t watch a lot of In The Night Garden, as you may have guessed by now, but I have checked three times now and Igglepiggle is definitely a 'he'. So what he is doing dressed up like this is anyone's guess. But it never did Eddie Izzard any harm. Courtesy of Claudia Winkleman Photograph: BBC Children in Need
Igglepiggle
There is a touch of Grange Hill - funny, can’t find it in the listings any more - about this effort from X Factor contestants, it says here, Same Difference. They just edge George Sampson with no fewer than three sets of initials. Well done, chaps Photograph: BBC Children in Need
