Samia Smith has become a mum for the first time.

The Coronation Street actress, 27, and her husband Matthew, 33, welcomed a baby girl yesterday.

The couple have named her Freya, and she weighed in at 7lbs 2oz.

'Everyone at Corrie is thrilled at the latest arrival to the family,' says a spokesman for the soap.

Samia announced the pregnancy days after dad Joseph died from cancer in April.

She will return from maternity leave in the New Year.
