News of the Doctor Who star’s waxwork comes just before his first season as the iconic time lord hits TV screens.

The latest Doctor Who series will kick off next weekend on BBC One on May 11 ahead of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final.

While the final waxwork is yet to be unveiled, it is set to be available for Doctor Who fans to visit at the Baker Street spot over the summer.

The figure will be unveiled following the final episode of the new Doctor Who series in July as part of a specially created Whoniverse-themed set within the attraction’s brand-new film and TV-themed zone.

Gatwa is not the only Doctor to have been made into one of Madame Tussauds' waxworks over the years. 

The Waxwork house has been creating figures of the Doctor since the 80’s beginning with the Fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker.

Madame Tussauds' Blackpool museum also immortalised the thirteenth Jodie Whittaker in 2018.
