Samantha
Mumba rift with father...
Stunning Irish Pop Princess, SAMANTHA
MUMBA, has been concealing a secret
heartache over her dad. The gorgeous teenager, who
has had her first number one hit last week, is privately
heartbroken over the rift with her father.
Samantha
dazzling smiles have been concealing the sad fact
that her dad, Peter Mumba, is no longer with
her family. He once worked as a successful aircraft
engineer. But now he is scraping a living and living
in a cheap accommodation.
Samantha
(17), who lives with her mum Barbara and brother
Omero (10) in Dublin, is destined for pop fame
after signing a major deal with Polydor records
in London. Her debut single, Gotta Tell you,
has soared straight to number one in the mid-week
charts in Ireland last week.
However,
as Samantha career skyrockets her dad has fallen on
hard times. Originally from Zambia in Africa, Peter
moved out of the family home in Drumcondra a year
ago.
Samantha
is believed to have little contact with her dad since
then. She never speaks about him in interviews "Samantha
has bumped into him since then, but I don't think
they have any regular contact," said a source close
to peter. "She rarely mentions her dad. I believe
they went through very bad times." Said another source.
"She's very close to her mother and very protective
of her brother but she always steers clear of talking
of her dad." "If anyone asks how her parents feel
about her pop career, she just says they're both very
proud of her."
Samantha
has spoken lovingly about her close relationship with
mum Barbara. "Were more like best friends as appose
to mother and daughter," She revealed. "Of course,
she plays the mother role and always looks out for
my best interests but, at the same time, I can tell
her everything. "Actually I probably tell her too
much. She's really great with me and I have these
brilliant conversations with her about everything."
"I'm just so happy that I have such an open relationship
with her."
Samantha
is the latest pop star to be launched by Westlife
and Boyzone boss, Louis Walsh. She was talking
to the Irish Star newspaper.
