Coronation Street’s Samia Ghadie bans mother from wedding to dancer Sylvain Longchambon
Relations between the pair are said to have been strained for months
CORRIE’S Samia Ghadie is at the centre of her own soap opera-style plot — after a family feud saw her mum miss her wedding.
Samia, 34, said she needed to keep numbers low at her country retreat wedding to dancer Sylvain Longchambon.
But The Sun can reveal mum Patsy, 66, was uninvited after a series of rows led to an ultimatum about her attendance.
Relations between the pair are said to have been strained for months.
Tensions first arose when they fell out at the christening of Samia and Sylvain’s first child Yves, one, last year.
A source said: “Patsy was left sitting at the back of the church during Yves’ christening. She felt isolated and an unwanted granny.
“There’s been tension between the pair ever since.”
The actress, Maria Connor in the ITV soap, is later said to have refused to let Patsy join in any of the wedding planning or dress shopping.
She even cut her out of her hen-do spa party.
There is also said to be friction between Patsy and Sylvain, 36.
But the final straw came during “the mother of all rows” in June.
