    Having survived a tram crash in Coronation Street, Samia Ghadie is clearly made of pretty stern stuff.
The soap star was seen getting some practice in as she put her skates on in Manchester ahead of her participation in Dancing On Ice.
Samia, 30, showed nerves of steel, last week, as she still skated despite currently recovering from an operation on her wrist.

The mother-of-one didn't let the injury slow her down as she continued getting a head start in the competition, even though the ITV1 show will not begin until January 2013.
She got off to a wobbly start but improved throughout the session as she eventually found her footing on the ice.
Samia was wrapped up warm for the afternoon training session as she thick grey jumper with a wool gilet.

She teamed the wintry tops with a pair of black trousers as she glided across the ice in a pair of fetching white boots.
However, it wasn't long until Samia's enthusiasm and energy landed her in trouble as she was seen after the session nursing her already bandaged wrist.
Perhaps after taking a fall in the hard cold rink, Samia had to apply some ice to her wrist and call it a day for her training session.
