Bad boy rapper Snoop Dogg is desperate to be allowed back into Britain following his travel ban in 2006 - so he can appear in a popular U.K. soap opera.
The hip-hop superstar is barred from travelling to Britain after he was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport in 2006 following a fracas, and he's previously urged stars including David Beckham and Sir Paul MCCartney to help get the ban overturned.
But bizarrely, one of the main reasons Snoop wants back into the country is to catch up with Coronation Street - a soap set in Manchester, England - and has even offered to make a special guest appearance on the show's famed cobbled streets.
He tells Britain's The Sun, "When I'm in Britain I love to eat Indian food and chill in my hotel room and watch Coronation Street.
"I've done guest roles in shows in the U.S. If Coronation Street want me to make a cameo then, cool, let's do it.
"Maybe I could just play myself doing a concert in Manchester and I could come into the pub for lunch.
"I've been to Manchester lots of times. I think Coronation Street is to Manchester what the Statue Of Liberty is to New York."
