THE Lionesses will be immortalised at Madame Tussauds after their heroic efforts in the World Cup.
The waxwork museum has launched a public vote so that people can choose their favourite team member to be recreated as a figure at the attraction in central London.

General Manager Tim Waters said: “Like the rest of the nation we’re incredibly proud of the Lionesses.
“Not only for their success at the FIFA Women’s World Cup this year, but for their momentous win in Europe last year and all they have done for their sport-bringing women’s football roaring into the mainstream.
“They inspire and encourage so many, and we feel it’s only right what they have achieved is commemorated so we’re going to do that in the way that only Madame Tussauds London can.
“The whole team have been outstanding, and they all brought so much to the World Cup, which makes it really difficult for us to pick who our expert artists should create.
“That’s why we’re putting it to the public, to help us decide who we should choose.”
The poll on their website will run until September 8, with the results announced next year.
