Kevin Kennedy has revealed that he is "proud" to have played Curly Watts on Coronation Street.

The actor, who starred in the ITV soap for 20 years, insisted that he has never been concerned with distancing himself from his Corrie persona.

He explained: "That sort of thing never leaves you and I'm very proud. I never want to deny it or get away from it, I enjoy it. If I didn't have that kind of back catalogue then I wouldn't be where I am now."

Kennedy, who will soon appear in comedy musical The eXtra-Factor, admitted that he would consider making a return to Weatherfield.

He said: "I never say never. I still chat to the producers about other things and that's still a possibility. But we have to wait until the right time and the right story comes along."
