Tony Blackburn reveals Corrie ambition
Radio DJ and former I'm A Celebrity… winner Tony Blackburn has expressed his desire to appear in Coronation Street.

The 65-year-old, who triumphed in the Australian jungle in 2002, is such a huge fan of the Manchester-based soap that his dream is to follow in the footsteps of Sir Ian McKellen, Noddy Holder and Status Quo in making a guest appearance.

He told MEN: "My one big ambition left in life now is just to get a walk-on part in the show. I'd love to just be sitting there in the Rover's Return, I don't want a speaking part or anything.

"I know quite of the few actors in it now and I'm practically stalking them, because I just love it!"

He added: "I could just be visiting Manchester or something and have dropped in to the pub for a drink. I'm sure no one would notice if I was in the background."
