ART IMITATING LIFE? Coronation Street’s Samia Ghadie admits she has no idea why ‘she always steals a guy’ in shock new storyline
The actress' own love life has hit the headlines in the past.
SHE wasn’t happy when she found out what her character’s latest storyline had in store for her – but could it be that art is imitating life for Samia Ghadie?
The Coronation Street actress stars as Maria Connor in the ITV soap and this week, her character has a one night stand with Aidan Connor behind the back of his girlfriend Eva Price, played by Catherine Tyldesley.
And in an interview with Shayne Ward, who stars as Aidan, in Star magazine, he said Samia said she had no idea why she would be the one to cheat.
He said: “I’ve known Cath and Samia for years so when we got this storyline we were all buzzing about it.
“Cath said, ‘Why am I always cheated on?’ and Samia was like, ‘Why do I always steal a guy?’.”
Some might see it as art imitating life for 34-year-old Samia.
She got together with her Dancing on Ice partner Sylvain Longchambon in 2013 and they got engaged in May last years before their son Yves arrived in September.
Sylvain dumped his previous partner, Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe in December 2013 after he was paired with Samia on the show and admitted to Jen that he had feelings for her.

And just days before he and Jen split, Samia and her boyfriend, Corrie co-star Will Thorp called time on their relationship.
But prior to that, Samia ditched husband Matt Smith, the father of her three year-old daughter Freya, to be with Will, who left wife Samantha, the mother of his two children.
Shayne added that he would love to see a catfight between Eva and Maria and said: “I’d like to see a scrap with their hair weaves playing everywhere! Eva would win because she’s about 10ft taller than Maria.”
