Shaun Ryder: "I'd love to be on Coronation Street"

Watching the Christmas special of Come Dine With Me was, well, interesting. If featured Helen Flanagan, who played Corrie's Rosie Webster along with Happy Mondays front man, Shaun Ryder.   Shaun twisted his melons for his dinner starter, but that's not the point of this blog post, although it was one of the highlights of an otherwise not as good as expected programme.  Anyway, I digress.

Talking about television programmes they'd love to appear on, Shaun Ryder said he'd love to be on Coronation Street.

Make it work, Corrie, please.  We could then all have Happy Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

If you missed the Coronation Street documentary Rita and Me which aired in the UK on New Year's Eve, or you'd like to watch it again, it'll be repeated today, New Year's Day at 5.45pm on ITV.

It was well worth watching. I enjoyed every second of it.
