Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon showed off a bold new fashion statement as she headed out into Manchester for some family fun. The actress, who plays Maria Windass in the ITV soap, headed to the Manchester Opera House with her husband Sylvain Longchambon and their son, Yves.
The trio, who were without Samia's daughter Freya from her previous marriage, was at the press night for The SpongeBob Musical. The nautical nonsense of the cartoon characters has now been transported to the stage as a musical and our reviewer confirmed that it is just as bonkers if not more so that the small screen version.
Samia, Sylvain and Yves were seen posing for the waiting cameras before heading into the theatre to watch the bold and bonkers musical with innovative costumes and stagecraft, which is bulging with original songs by some of the world's biggest music acts.

Soap star Samia looked gorgeous as she stepped out in a Spring-ready floral gown. She paired the ankle-skimming dress with a pair of black trainers and matching leather jacket while she styled her blond locks into curls. Her Dancing on Ice star hubby cut a casual figure in a navy tee and grey jeans while Yves followed his dad's lead in a blue polo shirt, jeans and a basketball jacket.
Taking to Instagram once inside, Samia snapped a picture of the nautical-themed stage, which featured a winking Spongebob, and said: "@palaceandopera @spongebobstage been looking forward to this," alongside a big smiley face and love heart eyes emoji.
And she was clearly getting into the spirit of the show as she followed up with a selfie of herself and her son. Samia, 40, could be seen pouting for the camera as she donned a pair of purple flower glasses over her eyes. Yves, meanwhile, gave a wide grin as his blue glasses featured sharks on each eye.
"It's called fashun," the mum-of-two wrote alongside the brilliant snap on her Instagram Story before again tagging the theatre and the musical.
Samia's public appearance comes after she underwent an electric facial procedure. The Corrie favourite, who has appeared on the cobbles for more than 20 years, has been spending some time away from the soap as she was confirmed as one of the eight famous faces who will appear in the third series of Cooking With The Stars.
But taking to Instagram, Samia, who is often praised for her youthful looks, was seen enjoying some 'me time' and shared a video of herself undergoing a treatment she has which may help her skin look younger.
She said alongside a clip of the process: "Appreciation post for my fab friend and skin expert @william_foley_ Thank you for looking after my skin so well! I love how much you care about what you do, you are so knowledgeable and I trust you [100%] with my face! Give Will a follow if you’re interested in skincare or think you’re skin needs some TLC! #facial #skincare #oneaestheticstudio #gifted".
