Boris Johnson Madame Tussauds waxwork left outside job centre after he finally resigns

A wax figure of Boris Johnson has comedically appeared outside of a job centre, after the Prime Minister resigned as Conservative leader earlier today.

This comes after Madame Tussauds in London trolled the now ex-Prime Minister by updating their Downing Street display to feature a 'vacancy' sign on the door of Number 10.

Continuing their dig at the Leader of the Conservative Party, the Madame Tussauds Blackpool cleverly positioned outside a waxwork figure of the Tory leader at a JobCentre Plus in the Lancashire town.

Members of the public could not go by this, and were spotted posing for photos with the lifelike figure.

The waxwork version of the former London mayor captures him standing grinning outside of the Government agency, with his hands on his hips and dressed in a suit.

His signature golden, but messy locks were at the centrepiece of it all - iconically captured blowing in the wind.

The stunt came after Mr Johnson sensationally quit as Tory leader just after midday today.

However, he said he will continue to serve as a 'caretaker' Prime Minister until the party has chosen his successor.

It is thought this might not be until the time of the Conservative Party conference which is due to take place in October.

Possible candidates for Boris Johnson's replacement are:

  • Rishi Sunak - The former Chancellor of the Exchequer

  • Liz Truss - Foreign Secretary

  • Sajid Javid - Former Health Secretary

  • Michael Gove - Former Levelling Up Secretary

  • Ben Wallace - Defence Secretary

  • Tom Tugendhat - Member of Parliament

  • Priti Patel - Home Secretary

Meanwhile, Madame Tussauds in London updated its 10 Downing Street display with a sign saying "vacancy".

The display now shows the newly-resigned leader standing next to a Downing Street sign smiling at the door of Number 10.

However, Madame Tussauds have confirmed that Johnson's figure will be removed from the Baker Street attraction as he is no longer serving Prime Minister.

As the race for a new leader begins, Madame Tussauds confirmed Mr Johnson's wax figure will be removed from the Baker Street attraction when he is officially no longer Prime Minister.
