Olly Murs is the latest music star to have a Madame Tussauds waxwork made in his honour.

A model of the British singer will go on show at the company's Blackpool branch from March.

A video of the former X Factor star getting his measurements taken has been uploaded online.

Murs wrote on Twitter: "So excited to be getting my own waxwork for @MadameTussauds."

Madame Tussauds wrote online: "Fans will soon be swooning as Olly Murs is the latest singer-songwriter to join the wax figure hall of fame at Madame Tussauds Blackpool.

"Olly recently attended a sitting to capture his likeness. Appearing with microphone in hand, dressed in a crisp white shirt and skinny denim jeans, his wax figure will sport facial hair, a quiff and his trademark cheeky grin and visitors will be able to stand beside him to sing their favourite Olly Murs song. 

"The British chart topper will be unveiled at Madame Tussauds Blackpool in March, where his wax figure will be in the company of an array of stars from the world of music, comedy, sport and entertainment."

Other music stars made into waxworks recently include Taylor Swift and One Direction.
