Cheryl Cole joked that she does not want her new wax double to stand next to her X Factor co-judge Simon Cowell's.

After months of work, Cheryl's figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds on Wednesday.

When considering where it should be positioned she teased: ''Keep me away from Simon!''

Cheryl is delighted to be joining a host of A list stars including Will Smith and David Beckham who the museum have chosen to immortalise in wax:

''It is crazy, it is amazing, mind-blowing.''
