Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon has been shown support from her co-stars and thousands of social media followers after she took to Instagram to share a 'punch in the gut' moment she suffered.
The actress, who plays Maria Windass in the ITV soap, opened up about grief after sharing how she went to phone her dad, Joseph, despite him having died more than 13 years ago. Samia shared a photo of her and her dad which had been lovingly placed into a photo frame.
"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," the 40-year-old soap star emotionally shared alongside the image. "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."
