Coronation Street fans heap praise on ‘beautiful’ Samia Longchambon as she stuns in new outfit

Samia Longchambon received a lot of love from fans and her Coronation Street co-stars after showing off her latest outfit.

The Maria Connor actress, 41, shared a picture of herself smiling while wearing a blue checkered dress on Instagram.

‘Had a very lovely time at @marksandspencer ‘s celebrate summer event today,’ she penned.

‘Here’s hoping our good old British weather will let us all enjoy lots of eating outdoors and getting our wear out of our summer wardrobe this year!’

Corrie star Anthony Cotton (Sean Tully) replied: ‘Fabulous dress, love it.’

@patsyghadie added: ‘Love the dress sam, 👗 you look gorgeous xxx.’

@mikeflint173 added: ‘BEAUTIFUL LADY GREAT ACTRESS XX.’

This comes after Samia recently asked her Instagram followers for advice on a pink, patterned turtleneck top that she regularly wears in the ITV soap.

Posting a picture of herself in the outfit, she penned: ‘Every time I (as Maria) wear this top on @coronationstreet I get messages saying it looks like I’ve had a neck tattoo… should we ditch it or keep it?! Tell me below… you can decide Maria’s wardrobe on this one.’

While fans insisted that her signature look was fine, she offered an update on her Instagram Stories saying that she will be ditching the top following a conversation with the director.

‘So after my post the other day about Maria’s top that makes it look like I’ve got a neck tattoo… I thought I’d just come on and give you a little update,’ she said in a clip.

‘Loads saying keep it, loads saying ditch it. But after I put that post up I went on to set in the studio and did a line run with Mikey (North, who plays Gary Windass) and our lovely director, Jason.

She concluded: ‘He’d not seen the post at that point so I think if the director is distracted by the top then that’s probably not a good sign. So I think we’re going to have to ditch the top – and I will give it to charity.’
