Samia, 37, told the Mirror how she is so busy with filming that she has barely had time to see her kids.
She said: I have been suffering massively with mum guilt.
“I have been so busy on Coronation Street, so Im getting up and leaving before my kids wake up and Im getting in at bedtime. Its really hard.
The talented actress admitted that her ice skater husband Sylvain – who she was partnered with on Dancing on Ice in 2013 – is the one who takes care of the kids.

French Sylvain, 39, is said to have dialled back on his commitments on the ice skating show to spend more time with the family in Cheshire.
Samia added: Sylvain is brilliant, he is really good with the kids. He is still doing a bit on Dancing on Ice hes doing the pro numbers this year.
Im so busy at work, we couldnt physically have done it, with the kids. So hes kind of taking a year out [from the show].
The actress said that professional skater Sylvain would possibly have had to be based in London for four months if he had taken a celebrity partner, but instead opted to stay in Cheshire with the family.
The couple, who wed at Delamere Manor, Cheshire, in 2016, share their son Yves together, with Freya being from Samias first marriage.

Samia joined Corrie in 2000 as Maria when she was just 17-years-old.
Now she is set to be at the heart of a dramatic pregnancy plot involving TV badboy Gary Windass.
Shell also have an explosive Christmas storyline with Gary getting caught up in a shoot out.
Earlier this year, Samia admitted she’s been ‘institutionalised’ after 20 years on the soap and vows not to leave after the mass exodus.
Samia’s reluctance to leave have been music to the producers’ ears after they suffered a major blow when big names Kym Marsh and Faye Brookes decided to go.
This followed reports emerging of gruelling hours, low pay and a toxic atmosphere.
