Read our privacy policy Jackie Weaver has accused Andrew Lloyd Webber of using her name to “stay relevant” after releasing a song about her. In response, the musical theatre composer penned a track titled “A Song for Jackie Weaver”, which was released on social media performed by Cinderella star Carrie Hope Fletcher. It was shared with a message from Lloyd Webber reading: “A song for Jackie Weaver, we all love you!” However, Weaver has now hit out at Lloyd Webber, calling him “incredibly arrogant” for “using my name” without permission. “It would have cost him nothing to reach out but I’m too ordinary for the likes of Andrew Lloyd Webber.” She continued: “I just felt that my name was good enough for him to use but I was not even good enough for him to bother to send a text message to or an email to.” The Independent has contacted Lloyd Webber’s representatives for comment.
