Max George says that he has held talks about joining Coronation Street but is unlikely to take up the offer.

The Wanted singer Max George has revealed that he has held talks about joining the cast of Coronation Street.

The 32-year-old, who appeared on last year's Strictly Come Dancing, has previously acted on the US musical drama Glee as well as the films Bloodstream and Me, Myself and Di.

"There's been quite a few soaps that my agent and I have had conversations with, but we've never seen it through because I just want to focus on films at the moment," he told the Daily Star.

"Coronation Street is only around the corner and I'm a Manchester lad, so it kind of makes sense. I've had talks about that, but it's not something that's ever interested me.

"For me film is what I want to concentrate on first, but never say never with anything."

George's ex-girlfriend Michelle Keegan previously appeared on Corrie as Tina McIntyre between 2008 and 2014.
