Samia Ghadie has told how she underwent an operation to enlarge her breasts because she wanted to feel 'womanly'.

The Coronation Street star, 30, posed with her Dancing On Ice partner turned boyfriend Sylvian Longchambon as she told OK! magazine about the op.

"I have had a boob job, but it wasn't something that was done on a whim," she said.

The mother-of-one, who plays Maria Connor in Coronation Street, told the mag: "I had been thinking about having one done for three years. After Freya was born, my boobs just disappeared. Anybody who knows me will know that it's something I talked about having done.

"I wanted to feel womanly again."

She added: "Just the thought of putting a bikini on when I was on holiday was making me feel a little depressed before, so I made up my mind to do it."

The star, who said she and Sylvian were 'pretty much living together now', was recently seen with a curvier look when she attended the wedding of Corrie's Helen Worth.
