Coronation Street's Maggie Jones has revealed that she doesn't find her character funny.

The 75-year-old, who plays Weatherfield's favourite nag Blanche Hunt, isn't impressed with her character's sharp tongue and acerbic remarks.

"I don't find her funny, and don't think I could play her properly if I did," she told Inside Soap.

"Blanche genuinely believes that what she's saying is right, and doesn't say things for comedic effect. If I started trying to play the lines for laughs, they wouldn't come out right and the performance would suffer."

However, Maggie - who won a gong for Funniest Performance at the Inside Soap Awards - reckons everyone wishes they could take a leaf out of Blanche's books.

"Everyone knows someone like Blanche - or if they don't, they wish they did! We'd all like to be as outspoken as her and have the nerve to say things she does," added the 75-year-old.



We certainly find Blanche funny.
