Fans of singer, songwriter and social media force, Miley Cyrus, will have plenty to Instagram this Easter as Madame Tussauds London celebrates the arrival of her brand new wax figure with two weeks of 'tongue-in-cheek' fun - March 28 – April 12
Inspired by Miley's recent sell-out The Bangerz Tour, the figure is poised atop a giant neon-pink, tongue-shaped slide, rocking a typically sassy look with cropped blonde hair, bejewelled red and white checked outfit – and, of course, trade-mark tongue-out smile. Fans can grab a selfie stick for a perfect #tonguefie with the superstar, before seeing how they measure up to Miley in the 'tongue' stakes for a chance to WIN spot prizes. Special tongue rulers will be on hand for fans to take their vital statistics and enter them on a daily 'Tongue-o-meter' to find out if they are tongue tied, tongue twisting or tongue-tastic.
PLUS 'Miley's Mob' will be surprising guests with impromptu performances throughout the day – be prepared for dancing teddy bears, life-sized lips and, of course, towering tongues. Free foam fingers are up for grabs every day too, PLUS there's a whole world of famous fun to enjoy. From posing on the red carpet with Victoria and David Beckham; to joining The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen in her own immersive set; test your reflexes with F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton and have a private audience with Her Majesty the Queen. All rounded off by a visit to the jaw-dropping Marvel Superheroes 4D Movie Experience.
