Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is set to star in 'Hollyoaks'.

The musical theatre legend is making his acting debut by guest starring as himself in three episodes of the Channel 4 soap to be shown in January next year.

Lloyd Webber told The Liverpool Echo newspaper: "I have blurred fiction with fact all my life but never before on national television. Bless 'Hollyoaks' for asking me."

The storyline involves Bonnie Langford's niece, Summer Strallen, who plays theatrical student Summer Shaw in the show.

Summer said: "It has been a brilliant storyline and he was fantastic!"

A 'Hollyoaks' insider revealed the basis of the storyline, adding: "Summer is convinced that she is good enough to succeed if only she has the opportunity so she decides that stalking Andrew Lloyd Webber is her best option.

"Summer finally gets her wish and the chance to audition for her idol, but with the spotlight on her not everything goes to plan!"
