Will.i.am had to pose in his pants for his brand new waxwork at Madame Tussauds.

The Black Eyed Peas star and Voice coach has revealed that he had to strip down for four hours in order for his ‘Still.i.am’ look-alike statue to be made.

“I wasn’t clothed doing this,” he said as the waxwork was unveiled on Good Morning Britain.

"I had to wear underwear and tights, which I didn't like doing, because I'm usually well layered in clothes.

Inspecting his look-alike, which is part of the museum’s new The Voice UK Experience, the musician said that he could now see how disproportionately small his ears really are.

“I knew my ears are small, now I can really see in proportion how small they are,” he said.

The US star described the new addition as ‘pretty spectacular’, having gorwn up seeing waxworks of his idols.

“I remember growing up and Michael Jackson and Elvis were in the wax attraction,” he said. “I never thought I’d have a figure like them, it’s pretty spectacular.

Mentioning the awkward moment when he accidently spun his chair during last week’s episode of The Voice, he added:

“A bit of advice for the folks coming down to Madame Tussauds to have a go on the Coaches’ chairs, don’t draw on the button because it might just turn.”

Guests are able to assume the role of fellow Voice coaches Jennifer Hudson, Gavin Rossdale and Sir Tom Jones alongside Will’s waxwork at the museum, taking a seat in replicas of the famous red chairs.
