NADINE Coyle says she’s likely to be in series two of Derry Girls.
The former Girls Aloud singer says she’s in talks with the writer of the Channel 4 show, which is set in her home city.
“We’re trying to work it out that I’ll be in the next series,” said the Irish singer who was educated at Thornhill College on Derry’s Culmore Road.
The comedy, written by Lisa McGee, is set during The Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1990s.
“Since the first series we’ve got in contact.
“We even went to the same school. So we have to do something.”
Derry Girls is Channel 4’s most successful new comedy in 14 years, with an average of 2.5million people watching each episode across the UK.
The 32-year-old said the show reflected her childhood.
“Everything is so similar,” said Nadine.
“It shows a Catholic grammar school with nuns as teachers, and how the army would walk on the school bus to make sure there’s nothing on there.
“It’s funny how I’m so used to it, and now watching it I realise how out there it was.”
“I was seeing the adverts and thinking ‘how are they going to do this?’
“I’ve always had so much abuse about my accent.”
Series two of the hit show is expected to begin filming later this year.
