Alan Carr’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds has been given a Traitors-inspired makeover following the comedian’s victory in the celebrity spin-off of the hit BBC show. The figure now wears the series’ iconic dark-green cloak and holds a lantern, set against a turret-style backdrop on the floor of the London attraction.
The transformation comes a week after Carr’s surprise triumph in The Celebrity Traitors, where he played the traitor and outwitted faithfuls Nick Mohammed and historian David Olusoga in the final. The episode drew an average audience of 11.1 million, with a peak of 12 million, making it the BBC’s biggest overnight audience since the Gavin and Stacey finale on Christmas Day.
The waxwork, which originally stood at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, has been moved to the London venue for a two-week display near the Fashion Runway Zone. Steve Blackburn, general manager of Madame Tussauds London, said: “We are – in the words of Kate Garraway – ‘flabbergasted’ by the number of requests we’ve received calling for Alan’s figure to return to the attraction floor.”
He added: “We’ve been faithful, listened to our visitors, and brought the figure back with an iconic new look to celebrate Alan’s Celebrity Traitors win. We can’t wait to welcome fans eager to see cloaked Alan in London and relive one of TV’s most talked-about moments of the year.”
Carr’s Traitors-themed figure will be on display at Madame Tussauds London from 13 November until 28 November.
