'Coronation Street' star Samia Smith has revealed that she was scared of telling the soap's producers about her pregnancy.
The actress, who plays hairdresser Maria Connor in the show, was apprehensive about revealing the news because of her character's current storyline with Tony Gordon.
According to Daily Star Sunday, Smith said: "I was really scared about telling work because of all the people that have been on maternity leave this past year."
"But they were completely fine. We had to speed things up a little with the Maria and Tony story, but the ending's still the same."
Smith revealed in April that she is expecting her first baby with her husband Matthew.
