The former Atomic Kitten is a massive fan of the Weatherfield programme and is keen to reignite her TV career.

A spokesperson for Corrie said: "Kerry did pop in to see the casting director.

"She wasn’t auditioning for a specific part. It was more a case of keeping her in mind."

The troubled star has now moved back to her Cheshire mansion following an armed robbery three weeks ago - where she was held hostage by masked gunmen whilst she held her five-month-old baby Heidi.

She has also been left devastated by claims that her husband Mark Croft had cheated on her with two other women - but has apparently said she has taken back him back, on the condition that he undergoes a lie detector test.

She has two others daughters - Molly, five and Lilly Sue, four, with ex-husband Brian McFadden.

Kerry speaks of raid terror - July 24 2007
Kerry Katona has spoken for the first time about the armed raid on her home and said: "I thought we were all going to die."

The former Atomic Kitten and her five-month-old daughter, Heidi, were held at knifepoint by three masked men who burst into their house in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Her husband, Mark Croft, 36, was marched through the property by the raiders as they stole more than £100,000 of valuables.

Kerry’s two children by Brian McFadden, Molly and Lilly, were not in the house at the time.

In an interview with OK! magazine, Katona said: "It was the most terrifying night of my life. I thought we were all going to die or that they’d take Heidi away from us. I’m just so thankful that Molly and Lilly weren’t in the house.

"I’m not sleeping, I’m scared to go back to the house and I get frightened when Mark leaves me alone."

The couple moved into the £1.5 million house from Kerry’s home town of Warrington a few months ago.

"I feel the lowest I’ve felt for a long time and I’ve had some real lows in my life. I don’t mind telling you - I thought that our life in Wilmslow was the start of a new life for us away from all the trouble in Warrington and we were so happy until this happened," she said.

"I’m sick of hearing that it’s the end of the bad times for me because something worse is always around the corner."

"I have to say I have been moved by all the amazing messages of support I’ve received since Sunday night."

She said she could not wait to get home to her husband and children.

"The key work is trust here - and I know I’m in the best possible place at the moment," she added.
