Corrie’s Samia Smith gives birth to a girl
Filed under: Celebrity babies — Alan @ 7:53 am
Samia Smith, the Coronation Street star, has given birth to her first child, with husband Matthew Smith. The couple welcomed young baby girl Freya into the world this morning.
According to a spokeswoman for the ITV show, the birth went well and 
Freya weighed in at seven pounds, two ounces. She also added that the couple is thrilled and the production is happy for to hear of their joyous new reason to celebrate.
The birth of Freya follows the television birth of Smith’s character, Maria Conner’s baby, who gave birth in typical unpredictable soap fashion out on the beach.
In order to keep her pregnant tummy from interfering with the show after the onstage birth, Smith wore baggy clothes and hid behind cupboard doors and cushions.
Smith has already completed a host of scenes in advance of the birth, and is expected to return to filming in the spring of 2010. For Smith, the occasion is probably double as joyous, given that she has been carrying a faux and real baby bump for the last two years and is finally now officially free.
Everything seems to be going by the plan for Smith, who announced after her wedding that she would like to be a young mum as well as a young bride.
