Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon has been showered with support as she finally got to reveal why she spent some time away from her job on the cobbles earlier this month. The actress, who plays Maria Windass in the ITV soap, teased how she had been working down south for a few days but couldn't reveal what she had been up to - until now.
Samia is among the famous faces who have signed up for the third series of Cooking With The Stars. Emma Willis and Tom Allen are returning as hosts of the show, presiding over all the action as eight celebrities are paired with professional chefs who will mentor them, in a bid to transform them from amateur to expert in a matter of weeks.
Joining Samia in the cooking challenge is actor Jason Watkins, boxing legend Chris Eubank, actress Joanna Page, singer and television personality Peter Andre, Busted’s Matt Willis, Steps’ Claire Richards and Love Island star Indiyah Polack.
