Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon all smiles with rarely-seen son during trip to France
Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon showed off wholesome pictures alongside her husband and their son during their holiday in France.
The Maria Connor actress is married to Sylvain Longchambon, who is best known for being a pro-skater on ITV’s Dancing on Ice.
The couple met in 2013 on the skating show and tied the knot back in 2016. Samia has two children – Freya, who she shares with her ex-husband Matt Smith, and Yves Joseph, who is Sylvain’s son.
The 41-year-old shared a number of snaps of herself, Sylvain and Yves as they attended a wedding in the South of France. The trio were seen smiling from ear to ear in front of a castle.
Samia captioned the post: ‘Had the most gorgeous weekend in the South of France for a family wedding. Félicitations Thierry and Hina.. the French always know how to celebrate!
Over on Coronation Street, Samia’s character Maria is currently married to Gary Windass (Mikey North), but in recent weeks things have been rocky between the two.
After discovering her son Liam Jr. (Charlie Wrenshall) was contemplating suicide, Maria installed a secret camera in their apartment to keep an eye on him, but ended up catching Gary in an intimate moment with his ex Sarah Barlow (Tina O’Brien).
In a recent Instagram post, Samia shared a video of her first ever scene, and captioned it: ’24 years ago today was my first appearance as Maria @coronationstreet.. I was so nervous to be with the wonderful Bill Tarmey (and I think it shows 😝)
‘We filmed it on Easter Sunday and I remember being thrilled that I got a free Easter egg to take home on day 1! Imagine my first line being ‘cobblers’ .. 🤣
I’m super grateful to still be a part of this mighty show 🥹🙏 #goldolddays @alanhalsall 🫶🏼🥰’
Tyrone star Alan replied: ‘Amazing !!!! 😍 and here’s to Many more 🙏🏻 Xxxxx’
Andy Whyment added: ‘Ah love this Sam and here’s to many more years as Maria ❤️ xx’
‘I couldn’t love this more 🙌😍💛💛💛💛’ shared Sally Carman-Duttine, who plays Abi Webster.
