ITV Coronation Street's Samia Longchamon looks stunning sipping cocktail in bikini as she's forced to explain 'missing' child in holiday snaps

Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon looked worlds away from the often drizzly cobbles of Weatherfield as she headed on an Easter break. The actress, who is known for playing Maria Windass in the ITV soap, headed for sunnier climes during some time away from her job alongside her husband Sylvain and their son, Yves.

Taking to Instagram after jetting back to the UK, Samia posted a snap of her poolside sipping on a delicious cocktail. The 40-year-old looked stunning in a black bikini which she paired with a straw hat to protect herself from the heat and dark aviator sunglasses to shield her eyes from the glowing sun.

"Yes I like Piña Coladas, and gettin’ caught in the rain.." she captioned the gorgeous snap, referencing the Rupert Holmes track, Escape (The Piña Colada Song). Samia was quickly flooded with compliments and comments about the rum-based drink she was sipping before she returned to the social media platform.

She shared another snap of herself alongside Dancing on Ice star Sylvain and their son. Samia looked just as stunning as before in a green-coloured animal print dress which she paired with some chunky black heels. And her ice skater hubby kept it cool, rocking a pair of shades with his blue shirt and matching shorts.

And Yves looked adorable as he posed with his mum and dad for the family snap. But Samia was quick to clarify why one member of their family was missing as the trio were without Freya, the soap star's daughter with her ex-husband Matthew Smith.

"Back home from a lovely week recharging our batteries in sun (Freya was with her dad for those who might wonder)," she typed alongside the sweet family image. Sharing the post on Sunday (A[ril 16), Samia added: "Ready for work/ school tomorrow.. or at least I think I am [crying laughing emoji].

"Hope you’ve all had a lovely Easter break… goes fast doesn’t it! @slongchambon." But fans were quick to tell her she didn't need to explain herself as they inundated her with more lovely comments.
