Actress reduced to tears by Corrie sex attack scenes

Coronation Street's upcoming sex attack scenes were so "graphic" they reduced Samia Smith to tears.
The actress - whose alter-ego Maria Connor is subject to a brutal assault by new businessman Frank Foster (Andrew Lancel) when she attempts to land a big deal for her boss Carla Connor (Alison King) - admitted even the crew were "flinching" while the scenes were being shot.
