Coronation Street Jane Danson has revealed that she would be happy to stick with the ITV soap for another thirty years if she can.

“For an actor with children it’s the perfect job,” Jane told the Sunday Mirror. “Nine times out of 10 I go home every night in time to give Harry a bath and put him to bed.

“There are times when I think I’d like to do a great play or be somebody really different, but Coronation Street is a lovely job and Leanne is such a fascinating character - I could never imagine getting bored with her.

“Obviously my destiny is in somebody else’s hands and I could easily become a casualty of a storyline, but if it was down to me I could quite easily imagine still being here in 20 or 30 years time.”

Jane had to take a leave of absence from the show recently after her father suddenly passed away.
