Madame Tussauds Are Making A Theresa May Waxwork And Everyone's Making The Same Joke

'The real life version is cold, lifeless and heartless enough.'

Madame Tussauds in London has revealed a sneak peak of its upcoming wax figure of Prime Minister Theresa May.

The clay May is only in the early stages of construction, with just a head, hair and beaded jewellery to her name.

The chosen outfit and, of course, the shoes will not be revealed until the finished model is unveiled, which is expected to be later this year.

Edward Fuller, general manager of Madame Tussauds London, said: “Following the recent general election, we look forward to hearing the consensus of the Great British public as we reveal the first stages of Theresa May’s wax figure in creation.”

People on Twitter wasted no time in contributing to that consensus by sharing their thoughts on the waxwork, with a predictable amount all making the same type of joke.

But will anybody be able to tell the difference?https://t.co/XX9MhdOamx

Couldn't they just use the real thing? No one would spot the difference. https://t.co/vsiI13wSTq

Some more savage than others.

We're unsure why Madame Tussauds is creating a waxwork of Theresa May.

Theresa May waxwork at Madame Tussauds wont have a pulse, so it's the most realistic likeness possible.

Hi @MadameTussauds, I hope you will reopen the Chamber of Horrors where @theresa_may wax figure can take pride of place https://t.co/IBTDIKfqbf

Not sure that’s the response they expected.
