Presenter Vernon Kay has said that he would like to add acting to his CV, and revealed that landing a part in Coronation Street would be a great start to his new career.
Speaking to the Sun newspaper the Family Fortunes presenter admitted that he is eager to “spread his wings,” and broaden his horizons from “light entertainment shows.”
He added: "I'd love to be a shop assistant in Dev's shop or a barman, or the cleaner in the pub. I get offered loads of gameshows, but I host Family Fortunes - why would I want to do another one? Is there a gameshow out there that is better than ITV's Family Fortunes? I think not."
The 37-year-old further pitched in: "I want to go out there and spread my wings. I just want to do more stuff that is not in the genre of light entertainment gameshows. I'd like to do stuff where I go out and meet people, talk about an issue, or something like that. Or maybe just be a captain on a panel show."
Kay confessed that he has previously spoken to the ITV1 soap, and revealed that producers said a character had been "lined up" for him to play.
Speaking about the conversation he said: "Nothing came out of that, but I would be up for doing it now. Corrie has a real subtle undertone of comedy and that is what I have been brought up around."
