Corrie's Samia Ghadie to be on Dancing on Ice?

There's a news story in today's Sun that reckons Coronation Street's Samia Ghadie (Maria Connor) will be joining the next series of ITV's Dancing on Ice.

If Samia does take part in the show, she'll be following in the skating-steps of Corrie co-star Andy Whyment, who plays Maria's on-screen brother.

TV Biz in The Sun says that Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle has already been signed up to star in Dancing on Ice and that as well as Samia Ghadie, former EastEnder Matt Lapinskas (who he?) will be on the show too.
