thedailymirror--2020-08-10--Coronation Street wedding 'nightmare' for Maria and Gary as stars couldn't touch

Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon says filming her character Maria ’ s wedding to Gary Windass was “ really tricky ” due to social distancing .
Gary , played by 33-year-old Mikey North , and Maria had to appear to be touching , despite the actors having to remain two metres apart .
Samia , 38 , said : “ The director shot it really cleverly so hopefully it doesn ’ t look like we ’ re too far apart saying our vows .
“ It was a bit tricky making it look like we were closer together – and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really tricky .
“ It actually looks like we ’ re putting the ring on to each other ’ s hands but the camera cuts away and obviously we were nowhere near each other . ''
She added : `` You just see me have the ring and reach towards Mikey and then you see him fiddling with it as though I ’ ve put it on his hand.
” The soap ’ s first wedding since post-lockdown restrictions were applied to filming is due to be aired on Monday next week .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ marries Gary without knowing he is responsible for the deaths of Rick Neelan and Rana Habeeb .
Samia said Maria is always unlucky in love and has now unwittingly married a double killer – although Gary bumped off villainous Rick in self defence and Rana by accident when he tampered with the factory roof and it collapsed .
Samia said : “ I think she ’ d be furious and devastated she ’ s potentially about to be married to a murderer .
“ Especially after her first husband , Liam , was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ killer . ''
She continued : “ She ’ s not got a great track record with murderers .
I think she ’ d run a mile if she actually found out the truth .
“ She doesn ’ t learn from her mistakes and trusts people too quickly considering what she ’ s been through .
My advice to her would be to stay away from men .
She ’ s very naive.
” Gary has told his ex Sarah Barlow , played by Tina O ’ Brien , that he still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is about to marry Maria .
Samia said : “ Hopefully it ’ ll work out with Gary but I think with everything going on with Sarah in the background there will be trouble ahead.
” She added she has loved returning to the ITV show after lockdown , acknowledging that many actors are still waiting for their work to resume .
The mum-of-two said : “ Apart from my maternity leaves it ’ s the longest I ’ ve had off in 20 years .
“ It ’ s nice to come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was interesting to see how the wedding had changed in the scripts because of social distancing.

Man wins Lottery jackpot after mum nags him to buy his first ever ticket
Lucky Lottery winner Sufyaan Baileche scooped £30,000 on People’s Postcode Lottery - all thanks to his mum.
The 26-year-old only signed up after getting badgered by her to give it a go after moving to his own house in Chelmsford, Essex.
His mum has always played and persuaded him to do the same in the hope of winning.
So Sufyaan couldn't believe it when People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador Jeff Brazier called him via Zoom to say he had scooped a jackpot prize in just his second month of playing.
He said: "My mum has been doing it for years and has had a few small wins. As soon as I moved out, she said I should sign up with my own postcode.
"I think she will be really pleased for me, but I know she will be jealous.
"She’ll be like, 'You jammy git, you've done it for two months and look how much you've won!'"
Big-hearted Sufyaan plans to use some of his winnings to treat his mum to a dream holiday to New York.
He added: "My mum has always wanted to take me to New York, but now maybe I can treat her and take her. Especially seen as she got me to sign up. She wants to go to Broadway so we can go there.
"I’ve never ever had this amount of money in a bank account at one time, I don’t even think my parents have. It’s insane! The possibilities are endless!"
People’s Postcode Lottery costs £10 a month and there are guaranteed winners every day. People play with their chosen postcode and are automatically entered into all draws.
And it’s not just players who win with People’s Postcode Lottery – good causes win too. With a minimum of 32% from each ticket going to charity, players have raised more than £500 million for thousands of charities and good causes.
People’s Postcode Lottery ambassador, Jeff Brazier, said: "It was a pleasure to virtually reveal Sufyaan’s cheque to him. It sounds like he has his mum to thank for winning so I’m sure she’ll be happy with his holiday plans for them!"
