She spent years as the UK’s matchmaker on Blind Date – but Cilla Black has revealed she’s been observing couplings of quite a different nature of late.<\/p>\n

The glamourous 67-year-old presenter has revealed that she spent some time with swingers for her guest appearance on tonight’s episode of ITV1 hit comedy Benidorm.<\/p>\n

Talking to today’s Sun newspaper, she said: ‘I end up living in the Garveys’ house in the hills. I have a wild side in the episode.<\/p>\n

‘I spend time hanging around with the swingers. It’s a cameo – not how I am in real life, believe me.’<\/p>\n

The star makes her appearance on the show tonight, the first in the new series of the show. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the TV legend has revealed that she is waiting for the call from Coronation Street to make a cameo in the show.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The star has previously said she would love to appear in the soap, but bosses still haven’t taken her up on the offer.<\/p>\n

Cilla told The Sun: ‘I grew up with it and it’s as good today as it ever was. ITV have said they’d like me to do it, but it never happens.”<\/p>\n

She went on: ‘I wouldn’t want to be in it for very long, but perhaps I could just be myself, like when Status Quo were in a couple of episodes. I’d love that.’<\/p>\n

Status Quo rockers Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt appeared in three episodes of Corrie in 2005.<\/p>\n

They were spotted drinking in the Rovers before a gig, and fan Les Battersby asked them to play at this wedding to Cilla.<\/p>\n

Meanhwile, Cilla says she’s not worried about being on her own, following the death of her beloved husband Bobby in 1999 aged 57\u00a0 – because she’s always got the company of her bachelor boys, Dale Winton, Sir Cliff Richard and Paul O’Grady.<\/p>\n

The redheaded star said: ‘I’m happy to go to dinner with gentlemen but that’s about it. It’s nice to have a glass of champagne and be treated like a lady.’\u00a0 <\/p>\n

She added: ‘I’m not bothered about meeting a man. I was married for so long and have lived by myself for so long since then.<\/p>\n

‘I’m too independent now to settle down. I’d rather just not bother.<\/p>\n

‘Besides, I’ve got my friends Cliff, Paul and Dale, and have my girlfriends. I have a very nice life.’<\/p>\n
