Boyzone singer, Keith Duffy, has revealed that he can see himself returning to ITV soap, Coronation Street in the future.

Keith starred as Rovers barman Ciaran McCarthy between 2003 and 2005, and told ITV.com that he would love to return to the soap at some stage.

“The character was never killed off,” he said. “They left it open for me maybe one day going back. I’m still quite close to the producers in Corrie, in fact I went and visited them there not so long ago while Boyzone was in Manchester, and they gave me a very nice little welcome back. So one day!”

Duffy also hinted at the fact that his character may return as a gay man, I bet Sean will be glad!

He said: “My time right now is obviously dedicated to the lads and we’re having a great time, we’re really enjoying ourselves. But everything comes to an end eventually, so maybe if it does I’ll go back and get Ciaran McCarthy out of the closet.”
