Harry Styles Moves into Madame Tussauds Blackpool

Global megastar Harry Styles returned to his hometown in Cheshire today – on route to his new dream home in Blackpool.
 
And this will be no ordinary home for Harry in the famous British seaside resort, as he moves in with 80 other famous faces!
 
Madame Tussauds Blackpool is where you need to go to catch a glimpse – and a selfie or two – with the superstar!
 
The iconic star has been immortalised in wax after he topped all polls in a survey for most wanted figures at Madame Tussauds Blackpool.  
 
But before taking up residence at Madame Tussauds, Harry, 30, returned to Holmes Chapel where he grew up and was met by a crowd of adorning fans – even popping into W. Mandeville Bakery where he worked for many years.
 
The singer is renowned as one of the most successful solo artists to emerge from a band.

His  musical career began in 2010 as part of One Direction, a boy band formed on the music competition series The X Factor. They became one of the best selling boy bands of all time with Styles later after going solo bringing out one of the world's top-ten best-selling albums of the year, with its lead single Sign of the Times topping the UK singles chart.

Styles has received various accolades during his career, including six Brit Awards, three Grammy Awards and three MTV Video Music Awards. His has appeared in numerous films and was the first man to appear solo on the cover of Vogue magazine. 

Ross Morgan from Madame Tussauds Blackpool, said: “I am absolutely delighted to be adding Harry to our A-list line-up. The public loves him and have been asking for him for some time – so we are genuinely really pleased to have now been able to make this happen.
 
“The new wax figure, due to our talented team of artists, is incredibly lifelike and fans will be thrilled to grab a selfie with Harry – and will most definitely be the envy of all of their friends when they do!
 
“When we took Harry to Holmes Chapel we were swamped by adorning fans who really did believe it was “the real” Harry!”
 
Featuring more than 80 famous faces, Madame Tussauds Blackpool gives visitors the chance to get up close with their heroes, from sporting stars to TV favourites, movie icons, singing sensations and everything in between. 
 
It takes a team of 25 artists to work on one wax figure, spending a total of 800 hours collectively. This includes: 350 hours to sculpt the figure, 187 hours to insert a head of hair and 30 hours to make a set of teeth.
