He said: "Everyone says I'd play a good bad boy, I think it's because of the tattoos.
"I would love to play a bad boy, especially on 'Coronation Street'.
"I'm not an established actor but I'm willing to learn.
"I heard about Sarah [Harding] getting a role in the show, people said it might be an April Fool's Day joke, but I think she'll be brilliant."
Asked about the possibility of playing Sarah's on-screen boyfriend, he continued: "I've done that kind of thing in videos, I'd be completely up for it, with Sarah or anybody ... maybe Rita!"
Shayne was reported to have landed a role on the soap last month and he's now admitted he did audition for producer Stuart Blackburn but is waiting to hear back.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I was asked about the rumours and I had no idea, that's the gospel truth.
"Before we knew it, an audition did come in. I couldn't believe it and neither could my management.
"I thought it was incredible, I'm a massive fan of the show and my mum is a huge fan.
"I think for me it's just to be associated with it, especially Stuart Blackburn the producer, for him to sit in on the casting, I was over the moon."
