ITV Coronation Street fans in disbelief as they find out real age of Maria Connor actress

Coronation Street fans were amazed to discover how old Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Connor, actually is.

Samia, who has been on the Cobbles since 2000, recently celebrated a milestone birthday. Her husband Sylvain whisked her away to a countryside retreat. Staying in a treehouse, the couple relaxed while treating themselves to a glass of champagne.

Sharing a video of her birthday trip away, Samia said: "The last weekend of my 30s has been well spent. Thank you for our surprise getaway @slongchambon it was so perfect!"

While many fans commented on the beautiful location of their retreat, others were distracted by Samia's reference to 'the last weekend of my 30s'. Shocked she is 40 years old, Samia's followers all agreed the mum-of-two is ageless.

One fan said: "You certainly don't look 40."

Ian added: "Last weekend of your 30,s............? . I thought you were about 28!"

Sue said: "You look so young."

Another said: "How can you be 40?"

Jane added: "You only look in your 20s."

And Kirsty said: "40! You look more 20."
