Exclusive: Coronation Street's Sally Dynevor makes Celebrity Traitors plea

Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor has revealed that she's eager to be part of The Celebrity Traitors next year.

The soap favourite, who's faithfully played Weatherfield's Sally Metcalfe for 40 years, shared the news exclusively with Digital Spy on the Corrie set last week.

We visited Corrie for a special press screening of the recent Debbie’s Angels episode, which saw the women of Weatherfield take centre stage.

When we also got the chance to chat about the UK's most-watched reality show, Sally's face lit up… See our full exclusive video, playing at the top of the page!

"I would love to be on Traitors," she told us. "I'm just putting it out there! I have played Claudia Winkleman, when we've set up and we've played it in our green room [at Corrie].

"But I'd have to be a Faithful! I don't think I could be a Traitor."

Jodie Prenger, who plays Glenda Shuttleworth, took up the story: "We actually played Traitors at Debbie's wedding! Sally Dynevor borrowed a wig and dressed as Claudia.

"We played Traitors. It's the best thing I've ever done. I should start watching the series, I'm just usually cleaning out my animals.

"I'd probably be a Traitor, but only if Sally Dynevor plays Claudia again! She looks good with black hair and a fringe!"

Sally's enthusiasm for all things Traitors is clear, so could we see her in the next series? If so, Digital Spy will be claiming a little credit!

ITV bosses recently relaxed rules surrounding Coronation Street and Emmerdale stars taking on other projects, as long as they don't disrupt pre-existing storyline plans.

This led to Emmerdale's Lawrence Robb (Mackenzie Boyd) competing on Strictly Come Dancing this year, while fellow Dales star Bradley Riches (Lewis Barton) has been given time off for panto.

Former Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh, ex-EastEnders actor Ross Kemp and current Walford cast member Tameka Empson have all represented the soaps on Celebrity Traitors in the past couple of years, so we'll have to stay tuned to find out who might be next…

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
