The President of the United States of America is the latest celebrity to descend on Madame Tussauds' gallery in Blackpool, and the seaside town transformed The Blackpool Tower into a golden Trump Tower to signal his arrive, placing his wax figure there to excite locals.

The billionaire president was seen on a bench, tweeting, and was spotted having a cup of tea.

Trump will be staying in Madame Tussauds Blackpool for the next few months offering visitors the chance to pose alongside the world leader.

General Manager, Matthew Titherington, said: ''We are really excited to welcome Donald Trump to the attraction and give visitors the opportunity to pose and take selfies with the world leader as well as experience presidential life in the Oval Office.

''It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal to him and try and spot what he's going to be tweeting out next.''

This year, Madame Tussauds Blackpool welcomed American pop princess Ariana Grande, Coronation Street barmaid Michelle Connor to its new Rovers Return Inn beer garden, and revealed physicist Professor Cox in both wax and 3D hologram form.
