Amy Winehouse and Madonna are among a host of celebrities immortalised as new Lego characters.

Sir Cliff Richard and the X Factor judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue have also been turned into plastic figures.

As have Britain's most loved couple – David and Victoria Beckham.

The special characters have been created to mark the 30th anniversary of Lego's minifigure - but they will not be released to the public.

The minifigure was first created in 1978 and has gone on to become one of the companies signature plastic moulds.
