THE celebrity of Jackie Weaver continues to rise with the boss of the Cheshire Association of Local Councils securing an advertising deal with Disney.

Perhaps the most famous face to rise to fame from Zoom this, Mrs Weaver put Handforth on the map earlier this year when the theatrics of its parish council meeting went viral.

Some members of the council disagreed with the one-time clerk of Crewe Town Council in her CALC overseeing role and the social media storm was immense.

Now Mrs Weaver, who is chief executive of the CALC, can add 'zombie' to her list of titles, with nobody telling her otherwise.

She is dressed up as the horror monster in a paid promotion for the return of TV show The Walking Dead.

All previous ten seasons of American television show will be be shown in the UK on Star, which is part of the Disney+ streaming service.

Weaver has launched new zombie Zoom filters, to allow anyone the authority "to do as they wish during a video call".

The local democracy champion said on social media: "If you've been feeling downright dead after a day of work video calls, or feeling the need to bite your colleagues head off. Then I'm here to help and tell you about a brand new service.

"If like me, you're feeling dead tired of incessant video calls, you can book one of my zombie friends to take your place.

"To celebrate seasons 1-10 of The Walking Dead landing on Star on Disney Plus on July 2, we've launched the new service so you can duck out of meetings to tune in."

Mrs Weaver, who lives at Burleydam near Wrenbury, served as interim clerk at Crewe Town Council in 2013.

She was involved in supporting the set-up of the council as a new tier of local government in Crewe.

The eleventh and final season of The Walking Dead will also be available to watch online from next month.
