The 32-year-old was joined by another famous face from the cobbles, former Corrie star Angela Londsdale, who played police officer Emma Taylor on the soap.

The pair made the most of the sun as they took a stroll with Angela's pet pooch Bo before enjoying a leisurely lunch.

Samia - who has played Maria Connor on the ITV show since 2000 - recently revealed that she has accepted her ice skater boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon's proposal.

Despite focusing on welcoming her second child in the next few months, the beauty - who has a daughter, Freya, from her previous marriage - is already planning her nuptials.

Excited: The actress is almost six months pregnant and reveals Corrie bosses are starting to struggle to cover her bump

Revealing she wants to have the big day in France, where Dancing On Ice professional Sylvan hails from, she writes in her OK! blog: 'We would ideally love to get married in France as Sylvain has a large family and he doesn't get to see them that often. I also think we might need to enlist some help in the form of a wedding planner as logistically, it might prove difficult to plan having two and a little job on the cobbles to hold down.'

As for her pregnancy, the actress admits it's getting harder for the team at work to disguise her changing body.

She added: 'We've been filming on location... so I've not been able to have my usual post-lunch naps. But at nearly six months pregnant, I do seem to have finally found some extra energy at last.

'It's becoming increasingly harder to disguise my pregnancy on screen now as Maria isn't expecting in the show. Our lovely director Tony [Stewart] had to ask our costume department to get me a huge bag and long coat to try and get around it for our location scenes.'
