Shayne’s no dummy
 By Elaine Sheridan
Things just couldn’t get any better for second-generation Irish
lad Shayne Ward. Apart from still celebrating the release of his new single
No Promises which sold over 200,000 copies in just a couple of days he
has gone one step further by unveiling his own waxwork at Madame Tussauds
in London.
He is the first reality TV star to have a waxwork displayed at the tourist
attraction. Madame Tussauds said it had been inundated with requests from
young visitors to make Ward the first reality television star to become
a wax figure at the attraction.
He said: “It’s just fantastic. I can’t get over it.”
Fans can also see him giving tips on how to be a pop star on a large plasma
screen behind his wax double. The X-Factor winner dedicated the lifesize
model to his mum Philomena who hails from Roscommon, whom he says helped
him achieve his dream of becoming a singer.
He said: “My mum’s going to want to take it home with her.”
And Shayne must have to pinch himself these days because it is reported
that he is about to sign a £500,000 modelling deal with Calvin Klein
as well as being offered a six figure sum to be the British face of shaving
brand Gillette, alongside David Beckham. Who said it’s tough at
the top.
