YouTuber DanTDM - real name Daniel Robert Middleton --- touched down in Blackpool this week to unveil his lifelike waxwork at Madame Tussauds.

Boasting 25 million subscribers and over 18 billion video views, DanTDM is one of the UK's most successful gaming content creators and has an estimated net worth of £38m.

The waxwork was the brainchild of DanTDM superfan Scarlett, daughter of Madame Tussaud's guest experience manager, Trudie Knowles.

DanTDM arrived in Blackpool by helicopter, touching down on the beach, before making his way over to Madame Tussauds to come face-to-face with his waxwork which took over 800 hours to complete.
