FROWNIG, frumpy and stocky-shouldered -  these aren't the words we'd normally used to  describe Melania Trump.

But a new ghoulish statue of the First Lady which has been unveiled in her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia, is just that.

Despite many thinking that the chunky statue was a prank, the artist is insistent his work is serious and intended to a compliment to Melania, who he calls 'absolutely beautiful'.

But Donald Trump's wife isn't the first celeb to have had a dodgy statue made of them.

Here, Sun Online reveals some of the most questionable celeb statues of all time.

Moody Murray

In 2011, the Shanghai Rolex Masters decided to commission a statue of Tennis ace Andy Murray - and this was the result.

The incredibly moody-faced tribute bears little resemblance to the Wimbledon pro.

Andy's enthusiastic smile says it all.

Bulging Beckham

H&M turned our very own Goldenballs into silver balls to celebrate the launch of a David Beckham range back in 2012.

Fashion fans struggled to concentrate on his silver clad face, reporting feeling distracted by a certain bulge further south...

Mighty Ronaldo

Stiff competition was offered up by the Portuguese town of Funchal who presented this towering impression of their local resident Cristiano Ronaldo.

Again, the resemblance was very complimentary in the trouser department.

Creepy MJ

Although it could be mistaken as a prop from the Lego Movie, this creepy tribute to former King of Pop, Michael Jackson was planted outside Fulham's beautiful old Craven Cottage stadium from 2011.

The statue looked nothing like the singer - apart from the like hair.

Fingerless Firth

A rather costly £3.5m statue of Colin Firth's Mr Darcy from the famous BBC version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice resides in Lyme Park, the National Trust-managed estate which played host to his fictional estate in the 1995 mini series.

Visitor experience manager Anthony Willder said that Mr Darcy is still “looking good” but reported that, “unfortunately one of his fingers fell off."

Contortionist Kate

This terrifying tribute to Kate Moss was created by sculptor Marc Quinn from 50kg of 18-carat gold – and cost a whopping £1million to make.

We've never seen Kate in this pose before, but we're kind of intrigued to see if she's that flexible.

Armless Kim

Sculptor Daniel Edwards presumably used up all his clay before he could get to Kim Kardashian’s arms during the making of this ‘fertility statue’.

 Visitors to Los Angeles Lab Art gallery have even been encouraged to rub the belly of the design in order to help them conceive.

The creation shows an impression of the TV beauty naked, with earrings and a tiara identical to those she wore when tying the knot with ex-husband Kris Humphries.

Johnny who?

Johnny Depp looked less than impressed when this bizarre tribute to him was revealed at a Chinese film festival back in 2010.

Maybe he was wondering how he could get cheekbones like his clay counterpart.

Mini Mo Salah

Football fans were quick to ridicule this strange statue of Liverpool star Mohammed Salah.

The bizarre bust, which depicts the forward with his arms spread in celebration, is being shown at the World Youth Forum in Sharm El Sheikh.

Created by Mai Abdel Allah, the sculpture is supposed to hail Salah as a great example of dedication and determination.
