Fern Britton has revealed that she would love to seduce Ken Barlow in Coronation Street.
Speaking ahead of hosting this weekend's British Soap Awards with Phillip Schofield, the presenter said her dream soap role would be as a saleswoman who makes a play for the Weatherfield veteran (William Roache).
The Press Association quotes her as saying: "It's no secret I'm very fond of Coronation Street and so I think I'd like to move in with Ken and Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride).
"Perhaps I'm a visiting salesman and my hotel was overbooked and they kindly let me stay for the night - and I try to seduce Ken of course!"
She added that she would not be following in the footsteps of Schofield's Dancing On Ice co-host Holly Willoughby by wearing a low-cut dress at the event, saying: "If I was as youthful and had such gravity-defying bosoms as Holly I would be doing that, but I shall leave that to Holly as she's gorgeous.
"I'm not wearing anything that's too plunging but it's a very nice dress with a lot of sequins on it."
The awards ceremony airs on ITV1 on Wednesday, May 7 at 8pm.
