Amanda Holden unveiled as the Newest Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds Blackpool

Madame Tussauds Blackpool is rolling out the red carpet for its newest A‑List arrival, as beloved TV personality, radio host and actress Amanda Holden joins the star‑studded attraction from Saturday 28 March.

The brand‑new figure made its debut live on Heart Breakfast, where listeners got the first glimpse before it travelled north to take its place in the attraction’s glamorous A‑List section.

Last year, Amanda was left speechless in the middle of hosting Heart Breakfast when she received a surprise on‑air invitation from Madame Tussauds Blackpool to join their celebrity line‑up.

Amanda’s wax likeness is styled in a dazzling gold Nadine Merabi jumpsuit, capturing her signature blend of elegance, fun and show‑stopping glamour. She wore the jumpsuit previously for Heart’s Make Me a Millionaire.

She saw the figure for the first time alongside her Heart co‑star Jamie Theakston. The reveal followed months of planning and collaboration with the talented team of artists at Madame Tussauds. The TV favourite underwent a meticulous measurement process by the highly specialised team of wax artists to ensure her figure was an exact likeness.

Amanda said: “It’s such an incredible honour to be asked. When I was first approached, I genuinely thought it might be a joke. Seeing it today, in real life, is just unbelievable – I’m absolutely thrilled.

“I can’t wait to show my parents; they won’t be able to believe it.

“I’ve always have such a wonderful time in Blackpool. It’s a beautiful seaside town filled with warm, brilliant people. We love filming Britain’s Got Talent there – we come to Blackpool for the people, the audience always goes wild.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing the figure at Madame Tussauds Blackpool when I’m back later this year for filming.”

Janine Marshall, General Manager at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, said: “Amanda Holden is one of the UK’s most recognisable and well‑loved personalities, so we’re thrilled to welcome her into our A‑List line‑up.

“Her energy, humour and style make her a perfect fit for the attraction, and we can’t wait for guests to meet her stunning new figure.”

Madame Tussauds Blackpool is home to more than 80 expertly crafted wax figures. From superheroes and showbiz legends to sporting icons and members of the royal family, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Amanda’s figure will be available for guests to visit from Saturday 28 March.
