On Wednesday (March 18), Neighbours viewers saw Prue die a dramatic death when a bomb exploded in her car.

It’d be nice to get a little role on Emmerdale, I love Emmerdale.

Unbeknownst to Prue, unhinged Finn Kelly – determined to get revenge against Lucy Robinson – had planted a bomb in Lucy and Mark Gottlieb’s honeymoon box.

But, after several changes and switches with the promotional boxes, Prue ended up carrying the deadly box.

When driving to join Gary Canning on Pierce Greyson’s island, Prue opened the box and was killed instantly as the bomb exploded.

Now, speaking to Digital Spy, Denise has revealed she’d love to take on another soap role.

The Basildon-born singer, actress and presenter has already stepped foot in Walford as Karin Smart in 2015.

She told the website: “I really enjoyed Neighbours. I had such an amazing time with such a great cast and crew. I’d love to do more. It’d be nice to get a little guest role on another soap.

“I’d enjoy that. I had a small stint on EastEnders for five episodes as a guest, and now Neighbours.”

Eyeing up the Dales, Denise added: “It’d be nice to get a little role on Emmerdale, I love Emmerdale. I’ve got a couple of friends in it.”

Denise’s EastEnders character made her first appearance on April 9 2015, as the new love interest of Max Branning.

Denise was recently revealed to be the silver fox on The Masked Singer after weeks of keeping the audience guessing.
