'It's just so realistic' - Harry Styles fans flock to waxwork at village bakery he worked in before X Factor

The incredible model of the 'Watermelon Sugar' singer wearing a bright orange and gold outfit has been displayed at W. Mandeville Bakery in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. The singer used to work there when he was a teenager and he even told Simon Cowell the business' most popular bakes at his The X Factor audition in 2010.

Bakery owner Simon Wakefield, 55, said: "It's really good that he's back - it's lovely to see. It just looks so realistic. You just expect him to move or blink or do something because it looks quite surreal."

Simon hired Harry to work at the bakery when he was a teenager and said he was "a pleasure to have working" for him.

He said: "He was such a likeable lad, he was really nice and down to earth and easy-going. He had a lot of compliments from customers because of how nice he was.

"He was really good like a lot of the young ones I take on - he was a pleasure to have working for me. He asked me for a shift off because he had an audition and then he wanted another shift off and I told him he had to go for it. I told him he couldn't turn it down and it just went from there - it's amazing how it's erupted into the status he has now."

More than 5,000 fans descended on the quaint village in the past year to see where the 'Sign of the Times' singer grew up. A 'Harry's Home Tour' was even created by The Holmes Chapel Partnership, where supporters can visit the bakery and and where he had his first kiss. Simon says that all of the fans are "really nice" but some of the "get overwhelmed and cry" when they see a poster of the 'As it Was' singer.

He said: "We get an awful lot of fans from all over the world and people relate to coming here because they know he has been here. They are really good, they are all really nice.

“Some of them get overwhelmed and they cry when they come into the shop and see the poster we've got of Harry. They now have a tour in the village which has gone down really well and it gives people an insight into the footsteps of where he's been."

The figure will go on display at Madame Tussauds in Blackpool.

Ross Morgan from the waxwork museum said: "The fans have absolutely loved it. The fans who run the tour guide came in and we're one of the first people to see it - they absolutely loved it and we had big screams and big cheers.”
