LLOYD WEBBER HITS BACK AT MARIA FIX REPORTS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:58 pm

Theatre giant SIR ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER is considering legal action over reports his recent British TV show HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA? was fixed.
Lloyd Webber has been hit with claims that CONNIE FISHER, who will star in his West End revival of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, was already picked as the winner before the contest had even kicked off, but he dismisses the speculation as "absolute nonsense".
He says, "I didn’t think I would be looking at a major libel case. We had no idea who was going to win it. The BBC would have been down on me like a ton of bricks.
"I don’t see how you could fix it. I didn’t know until three minutes before the end of the show." Lloyd Webber’s statements come following an article in British newspaper The Independent, which referred to complaints made by two unsuccessful Maria contestants that Fisher was recording a CD prior to winning the final.
However, the composer said Fisher had been recording her own album which is totally unrelated to the BBC programme.
