Corrie’s Samia Smith loses post-baby weight

Coronation Street’s Samia Smith has put on a skimpy bikini and shown off her slender figure, which she regained just three months after giving birth.

The actress, who plays Maria Connor on the ITV soap, and husband Matt Smith’s daughter Freya was born last October.

Samia gained two stone while she was pregnant, Closer magazine reports, but she has now lost the weight and, at 5ft 2in, she is now a healthy 7st 7lbs and a size eight.

She puts her weight loss down to eating a balanced diet, walking and taking part in Pilates classes.

“I love my flat tummy,” she told the magazine, but added that she didn’t like the effect that losing weight has had on her chest.

“My boobs have all but disappeared,” the actress added.

Earlier this month, Jennifer Lopez told Marie Claire magazine that she carried her excess baby weight for eight months after she gave birth to her twins.
