It comes after the museum unveiled a waxwork of the late singer and activist to coincide with the first anniversary of her death.

O'Connor was found dead at the age of 56 in her south London home last July.

The figure was first unveiled on Thursday as a tribute to the singer, but the museum has now said it will be removed in order to create "a more accurate representation".

Among those who criticised the original figure was O'Connor's brother, John.
