Amy Winehouse is understood to be disappointed by the news that she is to be immortalised as a waxwork by Madame Tussauds.

The wax figure of the singer will be unveiled later this year following a barrage of requests for the model by visitors to the London attraction.

But, according to New!, Winehouse is apparently less than pleased.

"I thought you had to be dead almost before they made a wax of you,” she is quoted as telling the magazine.
