Samia Ghadie’s daughter wants her to dress as a pineapple for her wedding.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress is set to tie the knot with her fiancé Sylvain Longchambon later this year and, if her six-year-old daughter Freya, whom she has with her ex-husband Matt Smith, has her way, the couple will be walking down the aisle in a bright yellow fruit costume.
Samia explained to OK! magazine: "She is super excited. She watched a TV programme the other day where kids planned their parents’ wedding.
"She said Yves and her had decided that we should get dressed up as pineapples. Basically the wedding would have been one big fruit salad."
And, although the loved-up pair are remaining tight-lipped on their big day, Samia has admitted she’s started planning for her wedding but is adamant she’ll never turn into a "bridezilla" because becoming husband and wife is just about a celebration of their love with family and friends.
She said: "We’ve got the venue and I went to a wedding fair at Tatton Park [in Cheshire] the other weekend, so I’ve got some ideas. We have a brilliant wedding planner called Julie Perry; she’s so relaxed. She isn’t stressed so we don’t feel stressed. We’re getting excited but we want the day just to reflect us as a couple. It’s going to be relaxed and a great party for everyone. We want to just have our friends and family around us to help celebrate. I don’t think I’m going to turn into bridezilla!"
The couple – who have been dating for three years – struck up a relationship after meeting on ‘Dancing on Ice’ in 2013, they got engaged last May and welcomed their son Yves – their first child together – into the world five months ago.
