Coronation Street character Maria Windass is currently facing a turbulent time on the ITV soap.
Played by Samia Longchambon, the audience have watched on as Maria is on the receiving end of abuse after someone made a deep fake video to make it appear as though she had appeared in a pornographic film. The abuse escalated to the point of death threats as the soap character desperately tries to resolve the situation.
It turns out that while off screen, Samia has anxiety troubles of her own. Appearing on ITV's Lorraine on Thursday the actress said she had received therapy to try and slow her thoughts down.
