Coronation Street producer Phil Collins said last year that he'd love national treasure / actress Julie Walters to join Corrie. So would we, here on the Coronation Street Blog, according to our poll.

In this week's Radio Times, Julie Walters is interviewed and says this about being approached to join Corrie.

"I did once mention that I'd love a part in Corrie and they were immediately on the phone to various agents. But I think that might have to wait for later in my career now."

Sean Bean has once again expressed a desire to appear in Coronation Street.

The Game of Thrones actor said that he would happily "pop up" in Weatherfield for a brief period if bosses at the ITV soap could find him a good role.

"I would love to pop up in Corrie if they find me the right character," the Daily Star quotes him as saying. "But maybe one that doesn't stay too long."

Bean last called out for a Coronation Street cameo in 2010, describing the programme as his "favourite soap".

"They haven't contacted me or my agent about it," he said at the time. "So it's over to them."

Julia Walters, Cheryl Cole, Snoop Dogg and Kim Kardashian are among the other celebrities to have put themselves forward for a Coronation Street role.

CORRIE stars’ Strictly Come Dancing dreams have been given the cha-cha-chop.

Bosses have banned cast members from signing up for the BBC contest.

But they WILL let Street favourites entertain offers for ITV shows I’m A Celebrity and Dancing On Ice.

A Corrie source said: “It’s a no-brainer for us. Why would we allow cast members time off to go to film a show for a rival channel?”

The show’s Michelle Keegan was a target for the new Strictly. But the source added: “The BBC’s offer never got off the ground — we wouldn’t release her from her contract.

“That goes for everyone else in the cast but we are more open when it comes to ITV shows.”

Antony Cotton, who plays Sean Tully, was the first Corrie actor to be given time off for a reality show when he joined I’m A Celebrity last year.

Michelle, who split with The Wanted’s Max George last month, will be rewarded for her loyalty when her ITV contract is renewed later this year.

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan and Fern Britton are signed for Strictly and Westlife’s Nicky Byrne is said to be close. Bosses have also approached former BBC presenter Sian Williams, Winter Olympics heroine Amy Williams and DJ Chris Evans.

Strictly returns next month, going head to head with ITV’s The X Factor, which starts later this month.
