Coronation Street star Samia Ghadie has revealed that she is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon.

While it will be the second child for the 32-year-old actress, it is her first with Sylvain, who she met when they were paired together on Dancing On Ice in 2013.

Samia has a five-year-old daughter Freya from her previous marriage to property developer Matthew Smith.

French ice skater Sylvain, 34, has not yet commented on the pregnancy, except to retweet Samia’s message.

Samia’s Corrie co-stars have been quick to congratulate her.
