DOLLS adored by an internet sensation have joined her waxwork counterpart in an exhibit.

Handmade dolls Malcolm and Rita made frequent appearances on Zoella's blogs after she bought them from Brighton company Ruby Ruth Dolls.

The two cuddly toys were such a part of Zoe Sugg's Girl Online appearances that replicas of her dolls now appear in her bedroom scene at Madame Tussauds.

Earlier this month models of herself and fellow vlogger and boyfriend Alfie Deyes - jointly known as Zalfie - were unveiled at the London attraction.

They are portrayed as their millions of fans are used to seeing them on the internet, lounging on their bed in their spare bedroom of their £1 million five bedroom mansion in Brighton uploading to their online channels.

Jenny Mustill, creator of Ruby Ruth Dolls, was asked by Madame Tussauds to create more dolls for the display.

The 33-year-old designer, who started out around six years ago and has had a studio in Hollingdean Road for two years, said: "Zoella bought the dolls from Pussy Home Boutique in Kensington Gardens where I sell some of my range. Then she appeared frequently with them online and posted pictures of her with them - which got thousands of likes from fans.

"A few months ago Madame Tussauds contacted me and asked if I would be willing to make some more dolls for a confidential exhibit. It was really exciting, I did not know who it was for. I later found out it was for the Zoella display which was great. I'm looking forward to seeing my creations in the exhibit."

Each doll is made by hand from different patterned and coloured materials, using partially recycled fabrics with Miss Mustill sourcing charity shop jumpers to make their woollen hats.

They all have a name and a story behind them. Malcolm spends his time looking out to sea for answers, and Rita believes in falling in love at first sight.

Miss Mustill named the business after her great aunt Ruth, a dressmaker in Germany until the 1970s, and her own middle name.

She said: "The stories my mum told me about my great aunt Ruth always made me feel inspired. I was selling crafts on market stalls around ten years ago and my friend suggested making dolls. I really enjoyed it and found I could be creative. The first one I made was only about three inches big and they just grew from there."
