Samia Longchambon has spent 22 years on-screen in Coronation Street meaning she has gone through many milestones while working on the ITV soap star. From welcoming her two children to marrying husband Sylvain Longchambon and next, turning 40.
The Eccles-born actress will turn 40 on Wednesday, July 13. She joined Corrie in 2000 as Maria Sutherland - now Windass - when the character was a kennelmaid at the family-run Sutherland's Kennels before she agreed to marry Tyrone Dobbs when he proposed atop Blackpool Tower.
But a big birthday bash appears to be out of the question as Samia has revealed she scrapped plans to celebrate in a huge way. Speaking to OK! the soap star shared how she had planned a big party but scrapped the idea after her anxiety about hosting reached fever pitch.
