SINGER Lewis Capaldi poses next to a statue which is supposed to look like him.
The 26-year-old was presented with the artwork yesterday at his former school to mark the release of his second album.
Boasting bulging eyes and skinny, alien-like fingers, the bronze sculpture bore little resemblance to the Forget Me star.
Pupils and teachers spent six months creating their tribute at St Kentigern’s Academy in West Lothian, Scotland.
Meanwhile, Lewis recently let slip that he and One Direction's Niall Horan secretly hit the studio together to record a track for his newly released second album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent.

However, according to Lewis the song fell below the standard he required so he axed it altogether.
And in a further dig at his pal, Lewis said he’d rather record with Harry Styles.
Talking about who he is keen to get into the studio with, Lewis said: “I would love to do a collaboration with Paolo Nutini. He is my dream. He is an elusive man. He will just disappear for seven years. So trying to get him and pin him down . . . he is slippery.
“He has greased himself up and I chase him around the bedroom but he keeps getting away.
“If he is up for it, I would do it tomorrow.
“Niall would be one of course. We wrote a song and it was not good. Yeah, it was f***ing s**t. He wrote most of it.”
Lewis added of Niall’s former bandmate: “Obviously Harry Styles — I am a big fan. He is really like a successful singer.
"Probably the biggest in the world at the moment and he is f***king super-sexy.”
