Samia Smith Welcomes a Daughter
The Coronation Street star gave birth to a girl today, whom she named Freya.
Samia Smith is a new mum according to a spokesperson for Coronation Street. “Samia Smith has today given birth to a baby girl named Freya, 7lbs 2oz. Mum and baby are doing well.”
The rep added, “Samia and husband Matt are delighted. Everyone at Corrie is thrilled at the latest arrival to the family.”
The birth of her daughter comes only 4 months after her character on the show gave birth to her son on a beach. Samia has been hiding her pregnancy on the show for the past 4 months. The actress finished her scenes a few weeks ago and is expected back in the spring from her maternity leave.
The actress announced that she was expecting her first child in April only a few short days after her father lost his battle with cancer. Samia said, “I am so pleased that we were able to tell my dad about the baby before he died.”
Samia was hoping for a natural childbirth and said that she had a “high pain threshold.”
Samia and Matthew have been married since September 2005.
Samia’s birth of her daughter continues the baby boom for the actors and actresses on Coronation Street. Her co-stars Julia Haworth, Alison King, Wanda Opalinska, and Jane Danson have all given birth in the past year or so. Her other co-stars Andrew Whyment, Ryan Thomas, and Jack P Shepherd, have also welcomed babies into the family.
