Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon was flooded with compliments as she shared a solo snap from her family break. The actress, known for playing Maria Windass - nee Sutherland and Connor - in the ITV soap, took to Instagram to share the beautiful image with her thousands of followers.
She could be seen sat at a dinner table with a glass of red wine, donning a purple leopard print cami top. Samia, 40, gave a gentle smile for the camera as her blonde locks fell to her shoulder in loose waves.
"Autumn fun and yum dinners @thecelticmanor," she captioned the post. Appearing to confirm her stay at the 5* destination in South Wales, the mum-of-two added the hashtags 'mini break', 'happiness', and 'family time'.
Former Corrie co-star Catherine Tyldesley was among the first to respond, typing in the comments section: "You look stunning," alongside a string of red hearts. Ex-Hollyoaks star Sophie Austin, who is engaged to Samia's former co-star Shayne Ward, added: "Beaut," with a red heart.
