Samia Longchambon jealous of Kym Marsh’s movie lover

Samia Longchambon is "furious" about Kym Marsh’s new movie role.
The ex-‘Coronation Street’ actress has landed a role in ‘The Loss Adjuster’ and her former co-star can’t believe Kym is lucky enough to be playing Luke Goss’ wife in the film because they were both such big fans of his band Bros when they were younger.
Kym told new! magazine: "Luke is the lead in the film and I play his wife – Samia is furious with me because of it.
"We were both huge Brosettes back in the day and when I met Luke he told me he’d been desperate to meet me so he could look into my eyes.
"I wanted him to do that when I was 15! He’s a lovely man."
Dame Joan Collins also stars in the film but Kym doesn’t share any scenes with her.
She said: "I haven’t been able to film with Joan directly, which is a shame, but I’m so proud to be involved in it.
"Martin Kemp’s in it too, and I filmed a scene with Cathy Tyson, which was incredible."
Kym has only recently finished filming ‘Corrie’ and admitted it still hasn’t sunk in that she’s left the show.
She said: "It’s very emotional and very weird.
"The week leading up to my final scenes was so hard, I was overwhelmed.
"I had a great party. Everyone from the cast and crew came and it was lovely but it hasn’t hit me yet because I’ve been so busy."
And the former HearSay singer insisted she’ll be back as Michelle Connor one day.
She said: "I see this as a break – I don’t see it as me saying goodbye to the Street.
"I love the character and I love the show and it’s definitely not the end of Michelle.
"I wouldn’t want to shut the door on her but there’s no set plans right now for me to return.
"There’s no timescale but one day I’ll be back."
