HARRY Styles fans in Holmes Chapel have been ‘waxing lyrical’ after the superstar was 'glimpsed' in one of his childhood haunts. 

Sporting a bold orange ensemble complete with feather boa and pearl necklace, the megastar popped into Mandeville’s Bakery - where he famously worked as a teenager - earlier today, Tuesday.

Insiders dropped hints the 30-year-old was passing through on his way up to Blackpool, where he’ll be moving in alongside 80 other stars of stage and screen.

The hottest day of the year might not have been the optimal time for this particular Harry’s visit because – you guessed it – this one's actually made of beeswax.

The pop icon has been immortalised after he topped all polls in a survey for most wanted figures at Madam Tussauds in the seaside town, where he goes on full public display on Saturday, August 3. 

Describing itself as ‘the global barometer of fame’, Madame Tussauds has been entertaining visitors with waxworks of the great and the good for 250 years.

It takes a team of 25 skilled artists to make one wax figure, putting in around 800 hours work between them, at a cost of around £150,000. 

This includes 350 hours to sculpt the figure out of imported Japanese beeswax, 187 hours to insert every single hair individually, and 30 hours to make a set of gnashers. 

Ross Morgan, PR manager at Madam Tussauds in Blackpool, said: “We’re all about our visitors getting up close and personal with their idols, and we’re absolutely delighted to be adding Harry to our A-list line-up.

“The public love him, and have been asking for him for some time, so we’re genuinely really pleased to have now been able to make this happen.

“The new wax figure, thanks to our talented team of artists, is incredibly lifelike, and fans will be delighted to grab a picture with Harry – and most definitely be the envy of all their friends when they do.

“I’m sure, come Saturday, Harry’s superfans will be queueing up outside. We always see a big upswing when we get a new global megastar like Harry.

“Since putting the word out on Facebook, we’ve had more than two million engagements.   

Natascha Schnieden, hair stylist at Madame Tussauds in Blackpool, said: “We only use real, ethically sourced human hair for our waxworks, and every single one is inserted individually.

“As we encourage customer interaction – within reason! - it means they have to be tended every day.”

Mandeville’s Bakery and Harry’s former boss, Simon Wakefield, said: “It’s turning out to be the summer of Harry with the new waxwork launched here in the shop, and the new tours, which are going great.

“It’s an incredible sculpture – it’s hard to believe it’s not him.  

“He’s great for business, and a fantastic asset for Holmes Chapel.

“We don’t mind having the media around. So far, everything's always been done very tastefully.”
