Keith Duffy has been asked to return to \'Coronation Street\' "a couple of times".
The Boyzone singer - who portrayed Ciaran McCarthy from 2002 to 2005 and again from 2010 to 2011 - insists he\'s not tempted to go back to the soap for a third stint because it\'s such a "full-on job".
Asked if he\'s been asked to go back, he said: "A couple of times, yeah. [Am I tempted?] No, it\'s a full-on job, six days a week, 14 hours a day, living in Manchester. I love Manchester but my home is in Ireland."
And even a hefty pay cheque wouldn\'t change Keith\'s mind.
He said: "I\'m not money-driven, we all grew up very humbly and we\'re grateful for what we achieved. I love the acting and I\'d love to pursue that further but I love what we do and I\'d love it if this tour went on for 10 years."
The 43-year-old star will always treasure his time on \'Corrie\' because it gave him direction after Boyzone split up in 1999 and taught him a lot about acting.
Speaking backstage at BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park on Sunday (09.09.18), he told BANG Showbiz: "I\'d never say no [to going back], I loved \'Corrie\', it came at a very important part of my life.
"Ronan [Keating] and Stephen [Gately] predominantly did the lead vocals in Boyzone so when we broke up, a solo career for me wasn\'t really on the cards - I\'m a great singer like but I didn\'t have the profile Ronan had.
"\'Corrie\' picked me up when I was a little bit lost and it gave me direction and an education. I was there for 10 years, I did a lot of theatre, and I love to do that."
