Greggs to unveil limited edition sausage roll but you won't be able to eat it
The waxwork of the beloved 'British legend' will be displayed alongside the figures of other national treasures like Sir David Attenborough and William Shakespeare Madame Tussauds London will be unveiling a new wax figure this week - and it isn't a celebrity this time. In fact, it isn't even a human. However, the newest figure has earned its spot in the museum fair and square - as almost half of Brits consider it a British icon. That's right - it's the Greggs sausage roll. This unlikely superstar will have its likeness displayed alongside Stormzy, William Shakespeare, and Sir David Attenborough in Madame Tussauds' Culture Capital Zone. It is a space dedicated to those who have 'helped shape the landscape of British culture'. If it seems like a first, that's because it is. In fact, this is the first time an individual food item has been immortalised by the team of studio artists. They used a traditional plaster moulding method with sample measurements, clay moulds and hand-painted details. The artists 'studied dozens of individual Greggs Sausage Rolls to ensure they captured its distinct crisp, flakey layers and unmistakable golden glaze', Greggs said. Visitors can view the wax figure in all its glory, displayed on a regal blue velvet cushion and elevated on a plinth. Madame Tussauds' studio manager, Jo Kinsey, said: "The Greggs Sausage Roll is synonymous with British culture - we just had to put it in our Culture Zone. Our artists have put in numerous hours to capture every detail of this popular menu item, the pressure was on to capture it perfectly.' Kinsey added: 'We took the process very seriously, making this creation the exact same way we make all our figures at the attraction.' Meanwhile, Greggs CEO Rosin Currie said: 'We're absolutely thrilled that Madame Tussauds London has chosen to honour the Greggs Sausage Roll in such a unique and iconic way. It's a true celebration of a national favourite, and we couldn't think of a more fitting tribute in the lead-up to National Sausage Roll Day. Seeing our Sausage Roll receive the celebrity treatment is a proud and slightly surreal moment for all of us at Greggs.' The wax sausage roll will be on display at Madame Tussauds from National Sausage Roll Day on June 5, throughout the month. According to new research, the Greggs sausage roll ranks among other British icons like the cast of Gavin & Stacey, Noel and Liam Gallagher, and Ian Beale from Eastenders. The survey of 2,000 UK adults found that Gen Z were particularly big fans of the pastry, with 76 per cent agreeing to its 'British icon' status. Greggs sausage rolls have also found fans in some pretty big names. Hollywood actor Kiefer Sutherland has shared his love of the pastry on national television, while musician Teddy Swims requested sausage rolls ahead of his Manchester gig earlier this year. The Queen's Gambit actress Anya Taylor-Joy once dubbed Greggs a 'national treasure' in a 2022 LADbible Snack Wars interview. When presented with a sausage roll, she said: 'This is a Greggs sausage roll. This is the s***… I had this for breakfast like nearly every day on Emma… I love this.'

Footballer Kylian Mbappé Unveils Lifelike Waxwork At Madame Tussauds London
Kylian Mbappé has officially joined the ranks of global icons at Madame Tussauds London. The 25-year-old Real Madrid and France forward came face-to-face with his astonishingly lifelike wax figure in Madrid, ahead of its public unveiling in London next month. Dressed head-to-toe in his UEFA Euro 2024 French away kit, complete with shin pads and captain's armband - all donated by the man himself - the statue strikes his signature arms-crossed celebration pose. "Woah, this is incredible!" Mbappé exclaimed, clearly stunned by the uncanny resemblance. "It's so surreal. The hair, the pose... it looks just like me! The artists are insanely talented." The star collaborated closely with Madame Tussauds' expert team, undergoing hundreds of measurements to ensure the figure captures every detail - from his confident stance to that unmistakable sparkle in his eye. In celebration of the launch, kids under 16 wearing any official Mbappé shirt - whether from France, Real Madrid, PSG or Monaco - can get free entry to the attraction between April 4 and 21. Steve Blackburn, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, called the footballer "a cultural powerhouse" and said the team was "immensely grateful" for Mbappé's involvement: "We've captured every tiny detail to bring fans as close as possible to their hero." The waxwork lands just in time for Easter and just before the footballing sensation himself touches down in London - with Real Madrid set to face Arsenal in the Champions League on April 8. This marks Mbappé's second Madame Tussauds figure, following the unveiling of his Berlin statue last May. The new figure will take pride of place in Madame Tussauds London's Culture Capital zone starting Friday 4 April.
