Shayne Ward reveals all about his Coronation Street audition

Shayne Ward shot to fame as the winner of the second series of The X Factor. I admit I had to Google him to find out who he is because I've never seen the X Factor in my life.

Anyway, the reason he's on the Blog today is that he's been for an audition at Coronation Street. 

He tells the Mirror today
it would be a dream come true to get a part in Corrie. 

Shayne exclusively told Mirror Celeb: "....before we knew it, an audition did come in. I couldn't believe it and neither could my management. I thought it was incredible, I'm a massive fan of the show and my mum is a huge fan. I think for me it's just to be associated with it, especially Stuart Blackburn the producer, for him to sit in on the casting, I was over the moon."

Shayne said he read through a script and gave the audition everything he had and is now playing a waiting game, trying not to get his hopes up.

"Everyone says I'd play a good bad boy, I think it's because of the tattoos. I would love to play a bad boy, especially on Coronation Street. I'm not an established actor but I'm willing to learn. I heard about Sarah (Harding) getting a role in the show, people said it might be an April Fool's Day joke, but I think she'll be brilliant. I met her during an audition for Popstars The Rivals and I've known her for years. I saw her again during the War of the Worlds tour."
