  • Story Text: Pop princess Kylie Minogue can now be seen every day in one of Britain's top attractions - Madame Tussaud's in London.
    The wax figure of the Australian singer Kylie Minogue welcomes fans to an exhibition at Madame Tussaud's, inspired by her raunchy stage routines.
    The saucy wax work of Kylie is the third that Tussaud's sculptors have created of the singer. It is by far the most daring as it shows the singer on all fours.
    The wax figure whispers sweet nothings as people stream by.
    Raunchy routines were a major part of her sell-out gigs earlier this year and Tussaud's bosses thought it would be fun to show that.
    Diana Moon of Madame Tussaud's says: "Well, Kylie is the hottest lady in the planet at the moment. So when we were thinking as to who to have as the centre piece of our Fever attraction - it had to be Kylie Minogue." And she adds: "I think, she is the sexiest figure Madam Tussaud's has ever made."
    Visitors to the London museum also have an opportunity to learn how to pole dance at the Fever exhibition - named after Kylie's most recent album and tour.
    And the verdict is more than positive. "She is wicked," one of the many small visitors said. And her friend adds: "I think she is amazing. She is a good singer as well." And the first girl says: "It's amazing how much they look like a real person."
    Minogue first appeared in Madame Tussaud's 12 years ago when she was still playing mechanic Charlene in the Australian soap Neighbours. But since Minogue has constantly reinvented her image the museum had to update their wax work.
