Charlotte Dawson stuns commuters taking a cardboard cut-out of dad Les to a busy London train station
The Ex on the Beach star was seen clutching a huge replica of her dad's head as she drummed up publicity for his tribute show
CHARLOTTE Dawson caused a huge stir among commuters in a busy London train station as she strolled around waving a cardboard cut-out of her deceased dad Les.
The Ex on the Beach star tragically lost comedy legend when she was just eight months old and headed to Euston in rush hour armed with the quirky photo tribute, ahead of a TV documentary celebrating his life.
This weekend, we reported how Charlotte hopes to have a similar life-sized tribute to Les standing beside her when she ties the knot.
Yet today she made do with taking him to a train station, uploading an image of them both to her Twitter page.
The snap shows typically glam Charlotte dressed up in a white fluffy coat and skintight leggings, with her flame coloured hair tied up in bunches.
For once it wasn't her snazzy outfit that commanded the attention.
Instead it was Les, who had a huge grin on his face and looked smart in a suit and tie, who proved most eye-catching.
The make-up artist uploaded the shot to her Twitter account with the words: "Only I would walk around Euston station with my dad and in Pin curls."
She followed up with Emojis crying with laughter and hand claps before adding: "the things we do for you r Les!!!" and a red love heart.
She then added she and her mum would be on ITV daytime show This Morning tomorrow, to chat about ITV3's two-part documentary Les Dawson Forever.
