Bonnie Tyler: 'I'm no actress'

Rex Features

Welsh songstress Bonnie Tyler has admitted that she would rather sing than act after filming her guest appearance for Hollyoaks Later.

The 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' singer shot her cameo for the late-night Hollyoaks spinoff at Lime Pictures in Liverpool earlier this week, and has since revealed that she was "like a fish out of water" in front of the camera.

"They've asked me for a couple of years but I know I'm no actress," she told PA. "I'm comfortable singing in front of thousands of people but put me in a room where I have to act and it's so difficult for me.

"I'm like a fish out of water having to say any lines, which I did have to say. I was dying. But it worked out all right."

The 58-year-old added: "I hope I don't cringe all the way through it. I probably will. When I watch any of my videos I could die!"

Tyler appears in a dream sequence with Carmel McQueen (Gemma Merna) in which the pair break out into a duet of her iconic 'Holding Out For A Hero'.

Her Hollyoaks Later cameo airs on Friday, October 2 at 10pm on E4.
