PARENTS have been left wondering whether children’s TV favourite Mr Tumble is a “secret metalhead” after spotting him at a famous Black Sabbath spot.
The CBeebies presenter has caused tongues to wag after he was spotted in a re-aired episode of Something Special at Mapledurham Mill in Oxfordshire.
The historic watermill is more popularly known for providing the backdrop to Black Sabbath’s eponymous debut album cover – much to the delight of social media users.
Twitter user Scott Colothan initially tweeted about the sighting on Saturday after recognising the location of that used by the heavy metal band.

He wrote: “Great to see Mr Tumble on a Black Sabbath album cover sightseeing tour.
“Always was a big metalhead.”
Scott attached pictures of CBeebies presenter Justin Fletcher as his well known character Mr Tumble.
Mr Tumble can be seen standing in front of Mapledurham Mill, wearing a turquoise vest covered in stars with his nose painted red and a large bow pink bow tie.

Birmingham rockers Black Sabbath released their debut album ‘Black Sabbath’ in 1970 – pioneering what is now known as Heavy Metal music.
Fronted by rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, the band achieved huge success around the world – having sold in excess of 70 million records.
The band played their last gig in 2017 at a homecoming concert in Birmingham.
