X Factor finalist Mary Byrne has admitted that she would love to make a cameo appearance in Coronation Street. The Irish singer, who finished fifth in the 2010 series of the show, said that one of her ambitions was to act in a soap. I would love to go into one of my favourite soaps of all-time - Coronation Street," Mary said. "And EastEnders!" she added. "I would love to do stuff like that, I really would. I think I'd like to come in as somebody who sings real nice. It'd be nice to have some fun and have a bit of a laugh." Mary - whose debut album Mine and Yours is out now - added that she loves the comedy of Coronation Street. "The reason why I love Corrie is because it's a mixture of humour and serious stuff as well, but the humour's what I love about it," she explained. "I love Becky and Steve McDonald - they're my favourites in it. "My favourites used to be Hilda Ogden and Stan, going back many years ago. "Then there was Jack and Vera. When they went, my heart broke. Mike Baldwin, I loved him in it. I love Deirdre, she's been through so many romances, it's unbelievable. And Ken! It's the characters I've grown up with."
