Alison, who recently confirmed she will be the new co-host of The Great British Bake Off, provided the talented team of sculptors and hairstylists with hundreds of precise measurements and hair and skin colour references, to ensure that her final figure, once unveiled, is an accurate likeness.
In a first for the attraction based on Blackpool’s famous promenade, the This Morning presenter was asked live on air by Kyle Woodcock, Head of Operations at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, if she would like to be immortalised in wax.
It was with great relief and excitement that Alison said yes!
Madame Tussauds Blackpool has shared behind the scenes images and footage of the 48-year-old having fun with the artists, as they undertook an in-depth facial and hair match so that they can create her lookalike figure.
The team of 25 artists will now spend a total of 800 hours collectively to create Alison’s figure.
