Former Coronation Street star Angela Griffin has reaffirmed her interest in being part of the soap's 50th anniversary celebrations.

The 33-year-old, who played hairdresser Fiona Middleton for five years in the '90s, told PA that she would like to attend the show's birthday party at the very least.

Asked if fans can expect to see her back, Griffin replied: "If I get invited. Hopefully they'll just have a big party. I love a party."

The actress added that Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald), Tracy Shaw (Maxine Peacock) and Glen Hugill (Alan McKenna) are among the former co-stars she has been in contact with recently.

She said: "I saw Simon Gregson at the TV Quick Awards, I don't know if he remembers anything about the conversation that I had with him. I speak to Tracy Shaw every so often, and the lovely Glen Hugill was at the TV Quick Awards and we text each other every so often as well, so I keep in touch vaguely."

In March, Griffin claimed that she was a "terrible" actress in Coronation Street and wanted to redeem herself with a new stint.
