Cilla Black 'keen for Corrie cameo'

Cilla Black wouldn't mind a cameo on
Coronation Street

The former Blind Date presenter said she's open to the possibility of a guest role in the soap, following in the footsteps of stars like Ian McKellen and Peter Kay, although a regular role would mean tiring hours.

The Mirror quotes her as saying: "It would be nice to do a cameo, but even Ian McKellen worked long hours when he did it for a while."

She went on: "If the role was right, I would do a one-off thing."

But it seems unlikely viewers will see the flame-haired star in Weatherfield any time soon.

A spokeswoman for the soap said: "No approach has been made to Cilla Black about appearing in Coronation Street. Cilla is incredibly famous and it would be difficult to see how she could appear in Coronation Street as a different character."
