Samia Longchambon’s daughter to join Coronation Street

Samia Longchambon’s daughter’s "goal" is to join ‘Coronation Street’.
The 35-year-old actress’ little girl Freya, whom she has with her ex-husband Matt Smith, may only be seven years old but she’s already decided she wants to follow in the brunette beauty’s footstep and bag a role alongside her alter ego Maria Connor.
Samia explained to OK! magazine: "She is still dramatic. If anybody asks her what she wants to do she’ll says she wants to go on ‘Coronation Street’ when she’s older.
"That’s her goal. She’s quite theatrical. She does singing, plays the piano and does drama after school. She loves it all."
The soap star also has two-year-old son Yves with her husband Sylvain Longchambon, whom she married in 2016, but she has admitted he seems to be taking after his French father at the moment.
Samia said: "At nursery the other week they said he is very strong and athletic. He’s two years old so he’s definitely not taking after me. They say he’s physically advanced so that’s different Sylvain."
Sylvain, 37, added: "He understands both French and English. If I speak to him directly I’ll only speak in French but he hears me speaking English to Sam and Freya. He understands everything – when he wants to! He probably uses a little more English at the moment."
And Samia is trying really hard to pick up the language of love herself too.
She explained: "I can get by. I can speak to Sylvain’s mum on the phone now."
Sylvain added: "They can have a 20-minute conversation. I’m not sure that either of them understands what they’re talking about."
