Samia Smith's Eye Candy

Samia Smith who plays Corrie crimper Maria Connor, has been wearing bracelets made by pupils from Loreto Grammar School, Altrincham, during filming. The pupils have called their venture Eye Candy because the bangles are made of sweets, and are marketing their product as seen on TV to boost sales. And now they can say, as seen on the Coronation Street blog!

Dolly mixtures and jelly bears coated in varnish are used to make the bracelets, says the Manchester Evening News. Pupil Alice Connaughton, who is managing director of Eye Candy, said: "We knew our product was fun and good looking but we were over the moon when Samia said she liked them. To see it on television was so exciting." The team of 14 and 15-year-olds will compete in a Young Enterprise competition on April 2. Good luck to them all.
