Snoop Dogg desperate for Coronation Street cameo as he 'loves the storylines'
Snoop Dogg and Coronation Street could be set for an unlikely collaboration as the hip hop legend is determined to make an appearance on the ITV show.
The 51-year-old rapper has praised the popular UK soap for its "realistic storylines" and said he could see himself taking part in whatever way bosses need.
Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., begged producers for a role as he urged them to make it happen.
"Coronation Street, I love it. If they call me I'll do it. I'll play whenever they need. I love the cinematography, acting, the storylines and just the reality," he said in a new interview.

The Ain't No Fun hitmaker also said he feels a special connection to the UK after the late Queen gave him permission to travel to Britain when he faced a tour ban after being accused of murder in the mid 90s.
He said he was given permission to travel because the Queen's grandchildren, Prince William and Prince Harry, were fans.
In the interview, he said he would love to be given the chance to perform at King Charles' Coronation in May.
