Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon will be celebrating her 40th birthday with her first-ever trip without her children.
The soap actress shares 12-year-old Freya Smith with her ex-husband Matthew Smith and seven-year-old Yves Joseph Longchambon with her husband Sylvian.
Sylvian planned a surprise getaway for his wife of six years and it will be the first time both will be apart from the kids for more than one night.
