Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan has revealed that she wouldn't rule out posing for Playboy.
The actress, who plays Tina McIntyre in the ITV1 soap, also said that she would strip on screen for the right part.

"I wouldn't say no to something like Playboy if it's tastefully done. But I will never get my boobs out, unless it was for a professional acting job. They're my boobs. I don't want the world to see them," Keegan told The Sun.
"I see them as my private bits and I don't want the whole world judging them. But I'd love to do a period drama one day. I've seen nudity in a period drama and thought it looked tasteful. You weren't going, 'Oh my God - her boobs!' It's not like in a picture where you just look like you're showing them off."
Speaking of her 'Sexiest Female' wins at the British Soap Awards, she added: "It's so flattering but I'm the least sexy person. When I first won it my friends were all laughing. Even I was like, 'Why have I won this?'
"That's why, when I win the sexiest soap star award, part of me is pleased because I think people are voting for Tina. She doesn't try too hard to be sexy and that's good. Girls should be like that. They can relate to her. They don't have to go out with their boobs or bum showing."
Keegan, who recently denied reports that her wedding to The Wanted's Max George had been cancelled, insisted that getting married simply isn't a "priority" for the couple at the moment.
That girl is far too modest
A teenager has been detained for a minimum of 16 years after murdering his mother in an apparent Coronation Street copycat killing.
Daniel Bartlam, then 14, attacked his mother Jacqueline, 47, with a claw hammer as she slept - before dousing her body with petrol and setting it on fire to destroy evidence, BBC News reports.
Nottingham Crown Court heard that Bartlam had been inspired by Coronation Street villain John Stape, who killed Charlotte Hoyle with a hammer before leaving her body in the wreckage of a tram crash to cover up his involvement.
Police found a clip of the Weatherfield crime on Bartlam's computer, along with videos of violent scenes in Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and horror movie Saw.
Detectives also found a self-penned "soap opera plot" on his computer, in which he fantasised about killing his mum.
Following the murder in April 2011, the boy initially told authorities that an intruder had killed his mother, and kept up the story for some time. However, he later admitted that he had been responsible.
Bartlam, now 15, was found guilty of murder nearly two months ago and has now been sentenced to a minimum of 16 years in custody.
Katherine Kelly, who played Becky McDonald in Coronation Street, is to star as Kenny Everett's wife Lee in a biopic called The Best Possible Taste.
The film stars Oliver Lansley as Kenny Everett and Katherine as Kenny's wife Lee Middleton in the biopic of DJ and comic Kenny Everett's life.
The Best Possible Taste will focus on Kenny Everett's relationship with his wife, singer Lee Middleton. It will also feature some of Everett's most famous characters including Sid Snot and US chatshow host Cupid Stunt.
Everett married the singer in 1966 and separated in 1979. Born Maurice Cole, the comic started his professional life as a pirate DJ for Radio London and Radio Luxemburg before joining Radio 1 in the mid 1960s. His TV work included stints at Thames TV from 1978-1980 and his most famous BBC programme, The Kenny Everett Television Show which ran from 1981-1988. "Kenny Everett was a genuine original: wild and unfocused maybe, but also deliciously anarchic and always entertaining,"
BBC Four controller Richard Klein said. "In many ways Kenny was a very modern celebrity, wearing his heart on his sleeve while coping with a complex life. "Re-evaluating this talented and exuberant personality, enabling audiences to reconsider Kenny's undoubted impact and legacy, makes this a very BBC4 drama." Lansley co-starred and co-wrote the short lived BBC comedy Whites, starring Alan Davies.
Andy Whyment, who plays Coronation Street's Kirk Sutherland, says he's got no plans to leave Corrie. In an interview with the Manchester Evening News, Andy talks about recently taking part in ITV’s Dancing On Ice and says there’s no fear of him ever giving up the day job as Kirkeh.
He says: “I’ve always said I’ll stay at Corrie as long as they’ll have me, I’ve been there 12 years now and I can honestly say I enjoy it as much today as I did the very first day when I started. I don’t know what’s going to be next for Kirk, but it’d be nice to have a bit of a storyline to be honest when I go back. I just enjoy working there, and whatever they give me I’ll be happy with.”
Andy adds that his Corrie bosses gave him their blessing for him to take part in Dancing On Ice – and gave him an extra five weeks off to take part in the tour, which calls at the Manchester Arena on April 18 and 19.
Kirkeh knows where he's bread's buttered
Hands up if you can remember Deirdre Barlow's toyboy on Coronation Street? He was called Samir, a Moroccan waiter who Deirdre met on holiday. They got married and looked like living happily ever after until Samir was killed off. He's also the one who saved Tracy Barlow's life after her dabble with drugs storyline - and his kidney lives on inside her!
Actor Al Nedjari has given an interview to Yahoo! about his time on Coronation Street – and how much he hated it!
Al says he saw himself as a worthy, idealistic actor who wanted to do really important theatre. He left drama school on Friday and by Sunday evening was on the set of Coronation Street.
From the interview at Yahoo!
You weren’t happy at all?
Ha. I had really mixed feelings. I mean, I knew I was going to get paid to do a job which was why I was going to be an actor but I didn’t really want to be on television and I certainly didn’t want to be on a soap. In the end though, I thought ‘you know, you might never get a first job’ . That happens to a lot of actors. So I thought ‘I’m going to have to say yes to this, aren’t I?’
But do you regret it?
I don’t really, no. I learnt everything there is to know about television acting. I became skilled at it and it was quite fascinating. And it was interesting being part of the culture. But I did struggle being recognised in the street. I hated that. I like to sit in cafes and look at people, so that was really hard. But from a professional point of view, I did make a name for myself.
Watching it again, I don’t think they’d do it now.
I don’t think they would either. They’d had criticism for not including ethnic minorities in the show and their response was to get me in. Someone a bit ethnic.
Were you relieved to be killed off?
I was then. But just recently, I was thinking looking back I would probably stay in the show for longer. Although the character was known, he was there and gone in a flash. I was worried that I’d have to play more Moroccans, but in actual fact, that’s probably a fear that was unfounded.
How did you get on with the rest of the cast?
I got on brilliantly with the immediate people around me. Anne Kirkbride (Deirdre Barlow) and I got on very well and she was lovely and Bill Roache (Ken Barlow) was lovely and at the time it was Dawn Acton playing Tracy and we got on well. But otherwise it was a bit like an airport lounge, the green room there.
By and large people had been there for years and I have to say it was a bit impersonal. A lot of the older actors were slightly contained. They weren’t very nice. I understood it by the end of my time there, though. It takes a lot out of you and if you do it for a number of years it must feel like a hellish routine. It sounds like a sob story but there’s an element of people not giving it any more than they had to. Mind you, it’s not like I was in a particularly good place.
You swan in with your big ideas…
Yeah, I thought I was the big actor and wanted to go off and do something important rather than this frivolous TV stuff. So it’s not like I made friends for life there. I certainly didn’t get on with the young people in the cast, who were well paid and all that. I found that side of it rather facile and objected to it.
Anne Kirkbride is massive on Twitter, you know.
It’s a funny world, isn’t it? She’s a national institution, isn’t she? She’s great. You don’t ever read an article with her talking, do you? She just leaves you with this idea of a TV personality that she wants you to.
