He continued: "I much prefer it to 'EastEnders'. That show is too depressing for me."

Gallagher also claimed that he had been asked to appear on the ITV soap on numerous occasions.

The Press Association quotes a spokeswoman for the show as saying: "We know he's a huge fan of the show, and I'm sure it would be interesting at some point to see him on the Street but no official approach has been made."

Some brilliant moments but sadly, for a film about losing one's virginity, it doesn't go all the way.
