Madame Tussauds Dubai has announced that a wax figure of radio host, serial entrepreneur, social media star and motivational speaker Kris Fade will take centre stage in the Media Room (one of seven themed rooms within the attraction), when the famed tourist attraction opens its doors to the public in two weeks’ time.

 

More than a million tune into Fade's breakfast show, hundreds of thousands follow him on Instagram, and fans love to throw his signature catchphrases into conversation.

 

Fade was the first celebrity to have his wax figure revealed at a special side by side event inside the attraction itself, accompanied by close friends and family, including his two daughters and his fiancée Brianna. 

 

Madame Tussauds’ expert sculptors spent months creating and crafting the figure by hand and Fade himself donated his own clothes for the model to sport, resulting in an uncanny likeness that provoked much excitement amongst the audience.

 

The attraction recreated Fade’s Virgin Radio studio, with the booth itself flanked by screens streaming related content and footage of the Golden Visa-receiving star. Fans, aspiring disc jockeys and visitors can step inside his studio, spin the dials and chat into the radio mics.

 

Fade said: “It’s an honour to be immortalised, as they say, by Madame Tussauds. Growing up as a kid I remember going to the London attraction and I was in awe of how real the figures looked.  Never did I think that I would be in a Madame Tussauds attraction where people would come and take a photo with me.”

 

Housed within the lifestyle and entertainment destination Bluewaters and situated next to the largest observation wheel in the world, Ain Dubai, Madame Tussauds Dubai will welcome visitors from October 14.-TradeArabia News Service
