Madame Tussauds Dubai has revealed its latest celebrity to be immortalised in wax

It’s none other than radio personality Kris Fade.

In one of its most exciting pre-launch revelations yet, Madame Tussauds Dubai have announced that a wax figure of the radio host, social media star and motivational speaker, Kris Fade, will take centre stage in the Media Room at the soon-to-open attraction at Bluewaters Dubai.

The beloved star came face-to-face with his like-for-like figure in a pre-launch event yesterday, ahead of the opening of the globally-renowned attraction on Thursday, 14 October.

Accompanied by close friends and family, including his two daughters and fiancée, the unveiling was the latest in a series of celebrity waxwork reveals. Madame Tussauds’ expert sculptors have spent months creating the figure by hand, with Kris Fade donating his own clothes for the model to sport.

Madame Tussauds have also recreated Kris Fade’s Virgin Radio studio inside the attraction, with the booth flanked by screens streaming related content and footage of the radio personality. This means that not only can guests have their photo taken with Kris Fade, but they’ll also be able to feel like a part of his popular radio show.

Kris Fade, comments “It’s an absolute 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 now be in a Madame Tussauds attraction where people would come and take a photo with me. I’m truly blessed by this opportunity, and I will remember this for the rest of my life. I am so grateful to be part of this globally renowned brand.”

Housed within the lifestyle and entertainment destination Bluewaters Dubai and situated next to the world’s largest observation wheel, Ain Dubai, Madame Tussauds Dubai will welcome visitors in just over two weeks.

Those keen to ensure that they are amongst the first to experience the attraction can book special preview tickets for Friday 8 and Saturday 9 October. Guests will be able to explore the attraction and encounter 60 global superstars from the world of music, movies, fashion, sport, history and politics. Tickets are priced at AED 135 for adults and AED 110 for children (aged three to eleven years).
