Matt Smith attended the launch of the Doctor Who Experience and came face to face with a life-size replica of himself.

Matt had a cast made of his entire face, to allow model makers to put together his double over a two month period, which stands guard outside the Tardis at the exhibition. The star straightened his model's bow tie as they met. Smith said: "I think he's sort of a bit musclier than I am!

"It's a surreal experience to have an image of yourself in 3D. So weird but one of the wonderful privileges of this particular job - you get rather mad experiences."

The star had his face coated in a plaster of Paris-type substance to create the head. He said: "It was quite a harrowing experience. My face was completely covered and I had just like a couple of straws for my nostrils. It was pretty grim."

The interactive walk-through exhibition also includes an interior of the Tardis, the Pandorica which featured in the most recent series, and specially filmed sequences featuring Smith.
