'Coronation Street' boss Steve Frost, who is due to leave the show soon, has said that he would have loved to flood the Street during his time in charge.

Speaking to ITV.com, he said: "I would love to have flooded the Street. It would have been great to see a natural weather disaster on the Street."

"We keep touching on it, thinking, 'can we tank the Street, can we fill it with water?' I really fell in love with the idea of somebody in a rowing boat coming round the corner by the Rovers - people climbing out of the top floor of the Rovers into rowing boats.

"It would have been a view of the Street never seen before and probably never seen again, but it proved a little bit difficult to pull off."

Frost added: "One day, though, I think it will happen because it would be marvellous."
