One Alison Hammond truly isn’t enough, so Madame Tussauds are helping us all out by creating a waxwork figure of the This Morning host.
The 48-year-old will have a permanent figure in the iconic tourist attraction, so anybody and everybody can meet her (kind of).
While this version of Alison is going to be a little quieter, it will still have her infectious smile and we’ll take it.
Fans of the ITV favourite will be able to pose with Alison, and you don’t have to worry about asking permission as it’s not an actual person. Also, if you don’t love the way you look in the first few attempts that’s okay because this Alison has all the time in the world.
Don’t get booking your tickets just yet as the making process is still underway.
Alison lent a helping hand to the creators, quite literally. She placed her hand in the mould, so they can ensure the waxwork is completely accurate.

Alongside the image of the process Alison wrote: ‘Coming soon @MadameTussauds’.
Alison discovered she was getting a waxwork on-air back in May, and the honour is due to her dedicated fans.
Madame Tussauds Blackpool’s senior attractions manager Kyle Woodcock told her: ‘We polled our audience on who should be next…Alison. You’ve come to the top of the poll’.
Clearly having no clue what was being dropped on her, Alison then said: ‘To what? Be a waxwork?’
‘You are having a laugh.’
But quickly coming around to the idea she said she was ‘up for it’.

‘Thank you,’ she added.
As the segment came to an end Alison also yelled out: ‘I can’t believe this. I’m going to be a waxwork!’
The entire process usually takes around nine months, so it may be 2024 before we get the first glimpse the creation.
This career milestone comes as Alison put to bed the rumours that her friendship with Dermot O’Leary was ‘strained’.
ITV was quick to rubbish claims of frostiness between the pair, branding the rumors ‘nonsense’, and Alison has now appeared to have done so herself in a joyful way.
Now, Alison shared a clip on social media of herself and Dermot getting their groove on and belting out Ronan Keating’s classic hit Life Is A Rollercoaster, looking like the best of pals.
