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.

Coronation Street Star Feared Telling Producers She Was Pregnant

Actress Samia Smith, from Coronation Street, has revealed how she dreaded telling the producers that she was pregnant.

Smith, who plays Maria Connor, was the tenth member of the cast to become pregnant in the last 18 months.

She told the Daily Star Sunday “I was really scared about telling work because of all the people that have been on maternity leave this past year,”

She feared that her bosses would be upset that they would have to change her character’s current storyline with Tony Gordon, who is a killer.

“But they were completely fine. We had to speed things up a little with the Maria and Tony story, but the ending’s still the same.”

It will be her first child with husband, Matthew. Her news was announced a week after her father lost his life from cancer.

She also said that since becoming pregnant, she had developed a severe craving for doughnuts, and said:”I can’t stop eating them. I’m going to turn into one at this rate.”

         

Samia Smith Adds To The List of Coronation Street Babies

Samia Smith reveals that she is pregnant with her first child.

Coronation Street actress Samia Smith revealed she and her husband Matt Smith are expecting their first child. Smith is still in mourning as her father died from cancer last week, but she told The Sun, “I am so pleased that we were able to tell my dad about the baby before he died.”

Having a baby bump is nothing new for Smith, as currently her character on Coronation Street is pregnant. She says, ” I have been pregnant on screen for the best part of the past two years and as soon as I get rid of the fake baby bump I will have a real one.”

There seems to be something in the water on the set of Coronation Street, as Samia joins nine other actors or actresses on the show that have recently welcomed a child or are currently pregnant.

Baby on the way is due in October.
