Will.i.am felt uncomfortable stripping down for Madame Tussauds waxwork

Will.i.am felt uncomfortable stripping down for his Madame Tussauds waxwork.

The 41-year-old singer has admitted he "didn’t like" posing for the mock version of him, which will be showcased at the popular London attraction, because he had to ditch his stylish ensemble to adorn just his pants and a pair of tights.

Speaking on the UK breakfast show ‘Good Morning Britain’ on Friday (10.02.17), the ‘Scream & Shout’ hitmaker said: "I wasn’t clothed doing this.

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

Although the ‘The Voice UK’ judge – who is joined by Sir Tom Jones, Jennifer Hudson and Gavin Rossdale on the judging panel – didn’t enjoy the process of creating the art work, he is excited by the final piece as he gets to "really see" how small his ears truly are.

He explained: "I knew my ears are small, now I can really see in prop how small they are."

Meanwhile, will.i.am has teased he is working on an "exciting" new project with Black Eyed Peas following the bands six year hiatus in 2011, which is expected to be unveiled in the summer.

Speaking previously, the record producer – whose full name is William James Adams – said: "I don’t want to say the word album because that just dates you, but we’re doing a new project. It’s really exciting.

"It’s the best time to be creative right now with all the tools and folks doing what’s best for themselves and creating in different mediums.

"I’m staying very vague but I’m so excited about the stuff we’re going to do this year.

"And I love tech, so it’s going to be jam-packed with some awesome f***ing tech."
