OLLY Murs’ waxwork has to be scrubbed clean of lipstick every hour — as it is the most kissed figure at Madame Tussauds.
The singer’s likeness is said to get a peck from three in four visitors to the attraction.
A dedicated member of staff at the Blackpool venue now has to keep 35-year-old Olly’s waxwork clean and top up his make-up twice a day.
Make-up artist Emma Meehan, 27, has been on hand with tissues, make-up remover and hairdressing kit to keep him up to muster.
She said: “It’s really hard to keep Olly clean, which is why I’m looking after him almost full-time at the moment.
“All our wax figures have their hair and make up done regularly to keep them looking their best, but with Olly I’m having to clean off lip gloss every hour.
“His make-up needs re-doing and his hair needs restyling all of the time, too.
“He’s such a popular wax figure because he is a cheeky chap in real life and very handsome.”
Olly superfan Taylor Nicole, 26, recently visited the attraction to give her idol a kiss.

She added: “I’ve always admired Olly and imagined meeting him one day.
“The opportunity to kiss the next best thing was a dream come true.”
Olly has taken over as most kissed from last year’s unlikely favourite — Sir David Attenborough.
