Sally Dynevor keen to get Dancing on Ice partner Matt Evers a role on Corrie

Sally Dynevor has revealed she is eager to get her Dancing on Ice partner Matt Evers a role on Coronation Street.

The 58-year-old soap star grew close to professional skater Matt after they were paired up for this year's series of the ITV show.

Unfortunately, Sally was voted off last weekend but vowed to stay in touch with 45-year-old Matt.

In fact, it seems Sally is keen to work with Matt again and keep him close by and has suggested she might get him a part on Coronation Street.

"I'd love to have Matt in Corrie. I really think Matt should come and live with Sally and Tim," The Sun reported.

"Maybe he's doing a show somewhere and he needs a room and they've put theirs on Airbnb!

I think the shows should merge and Matt should come and live on the cobbles. We could dance up and down the street," the mother-of-three added.

Sally has been a main character on Coronation Street since 1986, playing the role of Sally Metcalfe.

This year she was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2021 New Year Honours for services to drama, and collected her medal at a ceremony at Windsor Castle last month.

Speaking about her Dancing on Ice stint during an interview with The Mirror, Sally said she's loved getting dressed up every weekend.

“It’s so not me, I’m such a boy dresser, I’m in jeans every day, I don’t even wear dresses, so for me, it’s massive to go into these little sparkly things, but it’s great!" she explained.

“I’ve never felt as sexy as I do when I’ve got those hair pieces in , the fishnet tights and the sequins on!

“How brilliant, 50-odd and you’re turning into a little diva! I’m secretly getting used to it. I might have to ask Corrie to write in a few scenes with me wearing hair extensions and fishnet tights.

“Wouldn’t that be great? I’d absolutely love that!” she added.

Dancing on Ice continues on Sunday at 6:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
