Soap star Samia Smith has had to take some time off from work due to an abscess, which has been causing her some pain for the past few days. The 29-year-old, who plays Maria Connor in the long running ITV show, has been comforted by the support from her fans via the social networking site Twitter.
Resting at home, under the watchful eye of new boyfriend Will Thorp – who is also an actor in Coronation Street, Samia tweeted; ‘Thank you all for your lovely kind messages re my abscess. I can safely say it’s one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced!’
The actress had only just separated from her husband Matthew Smith, when she started stepping out with Will, a revelation that raised a few eyebrows on the Corrie set. They had one child together whilst married, and Samia was quick to compare the two experiences when her abscess flared up; ‘Argh!!’ She tweeted, ‘This pain is still so bad!! N yep it’s more painful than childbirth; I had to have a c section! Can’t take any more painkillers!’
Despite her pain, she was hopeful that she would be able to return to work soon, and she later thanked her fans again, saying; ‘Bless u all for ur concern…wouldn’t wish it on any1! Taking everything I can to get rid of it! X’
