Jade Goody is to be immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds
Yesterday it emerged that Jade's dying wish to be immortalised at Madame Tussauds is set to become reality.
The Big Brother star, who died of cancer aged 27 on Mother's Day, said she wanted sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, to be able to see her image as a waxwork for years to come. And after public demand, the Baker Street museum is said to have started talks with Tweed to create the sculpture. The 21-year-old was escorted around the attraction with friends yesterday by staff.
A source was reported as saying: 'Jack took great interest in the Big Brother feature and he and his mates took turns to sit in the diary room chair. 'They had a laugh but for Jack it was something he was doing for Jade. He would love to see her wish come true.'
Sources said Madame Tussauds bosses were even considering a waxwork that talks and moves, using Goody’s most famous sayings such as: 'Rio de Janeiro, ain’t that a person?' and, 'Where’s East Angular though?' Goody said before she died: 'I’d love to have a statue made of me. I would like to be in Madame Tussauds.'
A spokeswoman for the museum said it was 'quite possible' a Goody waxwork would be created 'as the works are made on the back of guest research and demand'.
