Madame Tussauds has announced that it will turn one of the England Lionesses into a wax figure at its London museum.
It follows on from the team's epic journey at the Women's World Cup in Australia this summer, where they made it to the final, but lost 1-0 to Spain.
Now the museum has opened up a public to vote on its website to allow people to decide which Lioness should be turned into a waxwork and displayed at its London museum.
But who will it be? Find out more below and let us know in the comments who you would choose!
