Loose Women panellist Claire, who played prison guard Karen Betts, said: “I probably would. It was such good fun.

“You would think it would be a nightmare with women trapped in an area for eight months but we made it work.”

While Deborah, who played prisoner Shell Dockley, agreed saying: “I would do it.”

However the actress, who is also known for being an impressionist, said she wouldn’t be so keen to return to Corrie.

She told the panel: “I don’t think I can see myself going back to Coronation. The work schedule on that is relentless.

“Doing a drama like Bad Girls is a bit different.
