Default Bobbling an slight popping from exhaust at idle

So as title says when sat at idle it feels like car bobbles(only word I feel describes). I also get like a popping sound from exhaust not of this changes revs but it's just started a week ago an seems to be getting worse. Can anyone help at all???

Stand near the exhaust and get someone to give the car
a rev and see if you can smell fuel. The 'popping' sounds
like too much fuel to me but I am no expert.

It was serviced end of last year so I assume it had plugs then but will check paper's to make sure. I have booked it into Richard henry Motorsport for a service next week too.

No engine warning light though, she runs fine its when you set at lights you notice it.

First signs of a misfire if the engine has a 'wobble' on tickover - tight valve clearances could also be the culprit.
