London, July 5 (ANI): Robert Pattinson’s wax statue has been identified as the most pecked figure by visitors at Madame Tussauds.

The actor beat Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who is placed second in the list.

On the other hand, Dame Helen Mirren was named the top female star to be kissed over the past year.

Staff at Tussauds compiled the list from their own observations as fans pounced on the models and also from maintenance records - to see which figures needed to be cleaned most often.

Guests often plant a peck on the ‘Twilight’ actor’s cheeks as they pose for photos, said the staff.

“A lot of puckering up goes on here at Madame Tussauds London and our studios team are on a constant clean-up mission where some celebrities are concerned,” the Mirror quoted spokeswoman Liz Edwards as saying.

“Robert Pattinson has been an instant hit with the ladies since he joined the attraction in March and Daniel Radcliffe has attracted more and more attention from female fans as Harry Potter fever starts to build up in the run-up to the final film release.

“Dame Helen is a hit with men and women alike, and although she doesn’t get the lipstick marks Daniel and Robert do, guests go out of their way to plant a peck on her cheek,” she added. (ANI)
