Webber threatens to snub Eurovision final

Andrew Lloyd Webber has revealed that he may not attend the Eurovision Song Contest final if he disagrees with the public's choice of UK representative.

The theatre composer agreed to write this year's entry in October and has since been searching for an act who will perform it.

Jade Ewan, Mark Evans and twin sisters Francine and Nicola Gleadall have now reached the last round of Lloyd Webber's reality show Your Country Needs You. The winning act will represent the UK at the Eurovision final in Moscow later this year.

However, speaking to the BBC ahead of tonight's public vote, Lloyd Webber admitted that he "might not go" to Russia if the public backs the wrong act.

"I absolutely know that it would be a mistake to put through somebody who didn't appear to do the song justice," he explained, adding that he would have to "spend quite a lot more time" with one of the acts.

Lloyd Webber also confirmed that he cannot choose between his two favourite contenders. He continued: "If I haven't got the right act there's nothing I can really do to change it."
