Getting measure of a champion

HUNDREDS of measurements have been taken of world champion heptathlete Jessica Ennis to create a new waxwork which will be unveiled at Madame Tussauds this summer.

The 25-year-old from Sheffield will be featured in a post-race celebration pose, with her arms raised triumphantly as she holds a Union Flag.

The figure will take four months to complete at a cost of £150,000.
