But Black, who appeared as herself in the 40th anniversary episode of 'Coronation Street', is wary of the hectic schedule and would prefer to make a cameo appearance instead.
She said: "They have asked me to join the show. It's not their first approach they have asked me several times previously."
Black continued: "They have to film every day to get the show out every night. It's really hard work. It would be nice to do a cameo but even Ian McKellen worked long hours when he did it for a while.
"If the role was right, I would do a one off thing."
