Actor Bella Ramsey said it was "so cool" to have their 21-year-old self "frozen in time" after they came face to face with their new figure at Madame Tussauds.

The waxwork model of The Last of Us star, whose family home is in Leicestershire, was unveiled to the public on Thursday and was given the seal of approval by Ramsey, their family, friends, and dog Skipper.

The figure's clothing was inspired by the outfit Ramsey wore at the world premiere of The Last of Us season two in Los Angeles, which included a green suit and black boots.

Ramsey, 21, rose to fame in Game of Thrones and spent 10 months collaborating with studio artists at Madame Tussauds London for the likeness.

Ramsey says it is "so cool to have 21-year-old Bella frozen in time"

Ramsey, who uses gender neutral pronouns, said: "It's so cool to have 21-year-old Bella frozen in time.

"It's been such a formative year for me, as 21 is for most people, and so to have it represented in the form of a Madame Tussauds figure is a unique honour.

"I want to say thank you to the studio artists for their care, craftsmanship and passion.

"It's been incredible to be the subject of their work and witness their tenacious attention to the tiniest of detail throughout this process.

"I'm excited for everyone to see the fruits of their labour, and meet me at my stillest."

The figure will feature alongside waxworks of Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles and Zendaya as part of the attraction's Awards Party zone.

Steve Blackburn, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: "The Emmy Awards 2025 are fast approaching, and what better time to add the sensational Bella Ramsey to our list.

"Their acting career has taken the world by storm.

"They have been a dream to work with throughout the entire creative process and our artists have once again worked their magic and created a true likeness to the talented trailblazing star."
