Baga Chipz wants to star on Coronation Street

Baga Chipz wants to star on ‘Coronation Street’.
The ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ star would love to appear on the ITV soap after having dressed up as ‘Corrie’ favourites Deirdre Barlow, Liz McDonald and Bet Lynch on stage.
Baga told the Daily Star newspaper: "I love Corrie and I am always saying, ‘I’d love to get on it.’ I hope they’re watching me. I do impressions of some of the characters on Drag Race. I’d be ideal. After all, I’m a northern trollop and common as muck.
"Watch out Ken! I’d actually rather be on ‘Corrie’ than in Hollywood. If Lady Gaga and Madonna were in one corner and Fiz and Tyrone in the other, I’d be with Fiz and Tyrone. Let me be the new Queen of Corrie."
Meanwhile, Baga previously revealed they nearly missed their phone call about the ‘Drag Race’ gig because they were too busy watching the soap.
They said: "I want to show off my acting and performing skills and show Ru what Baga Chipz does. When I auditioned it was like putting a quid on the lottery. I thought I haven’t got a cat in hell’s chance. When I got the phone call I thought it was a prank call and then I started to get emails and I thought ‘well done love’! When I first got the call I was watching Coronation Street, and I thought I don’t miss Corrie for no one and I thought they’ll phone me back after. Well, it was RuPaul’s bloody Drag Race! I just couldn’t believe it and I even missed the second episode of Corrie that night because I was over the moon!"
