A Coronation Street actress has been shown support from her co-stars and thousands of people on social media after she shared a 'punch in the gut' moment to her Instagram followers. Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Windass, opened up about grief after sharing how she went to phone her dad, Joseph, despite him sadly passing away more than 13 years ago.
The ITV star shared a photo of her and her dad, which she had lovingly placed into a photo frame reports The Manchester Evening News. Alongside the post, the 40 year old wrote: "A funny thing just happened. I just thought I’m going to give my dad a call.
"He passed away over 13 years ago but every now and then for a split second I forget. And then it’s like a punch in the gut all over again to know that I’ll never be able to speak to him."
