It was a family affair when Emmerdale star Adam Thomas and twin brother Scott Thomas from Love Island launched the new Marvel Super Heroes area at Madame Tussauds Blackpool. 

Adam, 29, was with his son Teddy and wife Caroline, who is expecting their daughter in May. Love Island star Amber Davies and Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon (hair dresser Maria Connor) were also at the launch.

The previously undeveloped space will add 5501 square feet to the existing public footprint within the attraction, so guests can experience something truly out of this world.
