A man in Norwich has built a life-size dummy of Cliff Richard, so his wife feels safe when she's driving alone at night.

David Stolworthy, 71 said he made the creepy creation after buying a waxwork head of the singer at a car boot sale, crafting the body himself out of cushions and MDF.

Speaking to BBC News, Stolworthy admitted "I've got too much time on my hands since I've retired", before detailing that the dummy has become a big part of the couple's life, and even goes on holiday with them without arousing suspicion.

"I couldn't believe it at Dunkirk when we got the ferry. Cliff was sitting in the back seat in clear view but nobody said anything at the border control. It was unbelievable."

Check out a picture of the couple with the dummy below:

2014 has been an eventful year for the real-life Cliff Richard, including the legendary singer being enlisted to support Morrissey on a string of US dates (which The Smiths frontman subsequently cancelled).
