Kim Cattrall has revealed she would like to strut the cobbles of Coronation Street in her Jimmy Choos. The Sex And The City star told Radio City 96.7 she's a fan of the ITV1 soap, and would consider being the latest star to make a cameo on the show, especially with the 50th anniversary just around the corner. Kim said: "Coronation Street is the soap that I am most familiar with, it would be fun. "I know that Ian McKellen did one for a while. He was really chuffed about it and I thought that sounds like fun! "I know they're coming up to a big anniversary, too." The 54-year-old Liverpool-born actress is in the UK at the moment, preparing to make her stage debut in her home town in Shakespeare's Antony & Cleopatra. Coronation Street's Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, recently named Kim as her dream choice to play her on-screen mother. She said: "Maybe when Leanne was little, she was a bit down in the dumps and I think she could come back really glamorous and give Leanne a good telling off for messing about with Nick."
