The Dishing Diva

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole is reportedly set to star as herself in British soap Coronation Street.

Cheryl, 26, is currently travelling the UK with The X Factor looking for the country’s next big star and it is claimed she has landed a role after expressing her love for the show.

A source said: "Corrie bosses are finding a way to bring in Cheryl in a cameo role playing herself. Corrie loves having celebs popping in.

"It looks likely that she will arrive in Weatherfield around Christmas for a special one-off appearance. One of her favourite characters is Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) so maybe she’ll pop into The Kabin."

However, a Corrie representative denied reports that Cheryl will be appearing in the show.

A rep said: "Producer Kim Crowther has had a story conference this week and they were planning into the New Year. Cheryl wasn’t mentioned."
