CORONATION Street star Samia Longchambon has revealed her kids are desperate for a role on the ITV soap.
The actress – who has played Maria Connor for 22 years – recently enjoyed a family day out with her kids on the cobbles.
Her son Yves, six, and daughter Freya, 12, are now keen to follow in their famous mum's footsteps.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun TV Mag, Samia said: "The kids love it. They came away saying they want to work on Corrie when they grow up!
"Freya’s 12 and Yves is six. They’re both pretty self-sufficient, especially Freya now, she’s out with her friends and stuff.
"It goes so fast! I was chatting to her this morning actually about when she was born and when she was a baby – it goes so fast but at
the same time it feels like a lifetime ago."
