Madame Tussauds is famous for hosting whole families of wax figures that visitors can pose with for photos. It's almost like standing next to a celebrity, right? Plus, some of the wax statues are so lifelike that they really closely resemble the real thing.
Then again, as fans have confirmed, there are tons of terrible wax figures at Madame Tussauds, too. Not every wax figure looks like its target celeb, despite the artists' best efforts, and there's one that's been crowned worst-ever in every incarnation (the museum often creates multiples of some high-profile celebs).
But there's one, in particular, that visitors just can't get enough of. In fact, visitors smooch it on the cheek (and elsewhere?) so regularly that it's caused issues for the staff at Madame Tussauds.
Alright, so what celeb is so crazy well-loved that he gets a ton of smooches per hour? That would be Olly Murs. For those who haven't heard of the singer, Olly is an English singer who rose to fame following an 'The X Factor' win in 2009.
The artist gained worldwide fame pretty quickly, and his hit "Dance with Me Tonight" rocketed up the charts, ranking as his fourth number-one single on the UK charts. Fans elsewhere loved him, too, and Olly went on to become a coach on 'The Voice.'
More recently, Murs was one of the most surprising reveals on 'Masked Singer,' but his singing chops aren't the only thing he's well-loved for. Olly is also active with charity work, pursuing philanthropic causes like celebrity soccer games and other events to raise cash for UNICEF and other causes.
So honestly, it makes sense that every visitor to Madame Tussauds wants to smooch all over Olly. In fact, as The Sun reported last year, the singer's statue of wax receives a kiss from about 3/4 of visitors to his exhibit.
The problem is getting so out of hand that the staff has to wipe Olly down daily and retouch his makeup at least twice during open hours, says The Sun. A makeup artist is on hand to wipe the lip gloss off him, sometimes using makeup remover, and then uses a hairdressing kit to spruce him back up.
The makeup artist tasked with babysitting the wax version of Murs noted that the fact that he's "a cheeky chap in real life" is part of the problem. But it's also the fact that he's "very handsome." While the makeup artist is probably happy to have stayed busy with work, Olly's appearance on 'The Voice' only made her job that much harder.
