WATCH: Sinitta and Simon Cowell snuggle up in Blackpool

Sinitta plants a kiss on the Simon's cheek.

Published 10th Feb 2016

Madame Tussauds Blackpool have just taken delivery of a brand new Simon Cowell waxwork and long-time friend Sinitta was on hand for the launch.

Sinitta was Simon's first signing in the 1980s and has been a friend ever since, so who better to comment on the new waxwork?

The new Simon Cowell pose shows the TV talent judge sitting on a plush sofa on a set reminiscent of LA judges' houses.

Wearing an unbuttoned white shirt the pose shows off the 56-year-old's chest hair, with Sinitta remarking, “Everything is just so perfect and lifelike, from the eyebrows, his ears, the expression in his eyes, he’s even got his chest hair, it’s just genius.”

Sinitta posed alongside the waxwork for a number of photos wearing a short red dress and matching top hat - even planting a kiss on his face leaving lipstick marks.

Commenting on the replacement waxwork general manager at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, Matthew Titherington said, "He’s been one of the attraction’s most popular figures to date and so we’re expecting this new casting to be a visitor favourite especially within the new set".

Madame Tussauds Blackpool is the only Madame Tussauds attraction in the UK outside of London and without any ropes or poles to get in the way you can now get close to the celebrities.
