‘Botox? NEVER SAY NEVER!'

Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon tells Woman’s Own why she would consider some help with wrinkles...

She has grown up on our screens, playing Maria Connor in Coronation Street since 2000.

But Samia Longchambon is now mum to two children, son Yves, four, and daughter Freya, 10, and is settled down in Cheshire with her husband Sylvain – who she met on Dancing on Ice in 2013.

And prior to the coronavirus pandemic, which has meant Samia, 37, has been off work and the kids have been off school, the actress spoke to Woman’s Own about her home life, how she and Sylvain have regular date lunches to keep the spark alive and why she wouldn’t say no to Botox...

Hi Samia, what’s the best thing about being a mum?

Just seeing the kids develop into their own little people, I think, is the most amazing thing. And to know that you’ve created these little humans on the way to having their own little life is magical. My kids make me belly laugh too.

And is anything a challenge?
