HAMPSHIRE Oscar-winner Colin Firth took a bow as the latest new exhibit at Madame Tussauds.

The actor, who took his Academy Award earlier this year for The King’s Speech, has been recreated in wax at a cost of £150,000.

He has gone on display at the London attraction in the A-list party section, alongside fellow Oscar winner Kate Winslet, as well as David and Victoria Beckham.

The actor, from Winchester, renowned for his dashing demeanour, is captured in his red carpet finest of a black textured tuxedo complete with bow tie and pocket handkerchief.

Firth is famed for his role as brooding hero Mr Darcy in the BBC adaptation of Pride And Prejudice.
