But despite not wanting to reappear in Corrie, there is one show she is definitely hungry to return to, and that is American Horror Story.

When we asked if shed go back, Joan said: Oh of course. Its great I have worked with some very amazing actresses and Cathy Bates who I absolutely love she is completely brilliant, and Evan Peters who played my grandson.

Joan Collins surprised fans when she made her onscreen return in American Horror Story Apocalypse.

The star played the role of Evie Gallant (aka Evan Peters grandmother) making her debut as a cannibal in the season premiere.

The legendary actress' character Evie was killed off early in the season by the her own grandson- but Collins is now back as a witch called Bubbles McGee. And it's revealed she's been teaching her fellow witches some sexy moves! Bubbles is working as an actress when fellow witch Madison (Emma Roberts) tracks her down to a movie set and tells her she's been summoned by the coven. A stunned Bubbles then goes for dinner with Madison and Myrtle (Frances Conroy) and reveals she's known Myrtle for years. Bubbles says: "We were young witches at the academy and we became instant friends." Myrtle then reveals: "My master of the art of fellatio is unparalleled thanks to the special teacher here at the table." Bubbles then shows off her talents by sucking on several olives before smiling and downing her martini. But she soon gets serious and with Myrtle visits the warlocks who are championing the anti-Christ Michael Langdon so she can use her special skill of being able to 'listen to someone's soul' to figure out the warlocks' plans. Bubbles then helps her fellow witches uncover the warlocks' secrets, which leads to their two leaders being burnt at the stake. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.

Here she was seen eating a dish in a subterranean bunker seemingly concocted from a recently murdered man.

As she sipped the dish, Evie remarked: Its absolutely divine.

Her original character was killed off in The Morning After when she was stabbed to death by Mr Gallant (Evan Peters).

Opening up about how scary the scene was to re-enact, Joan told us: Peter does inhabit those roles, and he has some very daring things to do – like when he gets attacked by the rubber man, and then he has to stab me to death.

Well that was pretty hair raising, I had to see that and the look of shock of horror on my face seeing Evan naked bending over and the rubber man being behind him.
