Liz Edwards, spokeswoman for Madame Tussauds, said of the new addition: "Cheryl is one of BritainÂ’s hottest celebrities and weÂ’re delighted to welcome her to Madame Tussauds London.

"WeÂ’ve been inundated with requests to feature her figure in the attraction and we expect it to quickly become one of the most popular here.

"Like the real Ms Cole, the figure is a knock out and will fit in perfectly with the glamorous line up of stars in our A-List party area”.
