Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon goes make-up free for low-key dog walk

She has been keeping fit during lockdown by walking her family dog.

And Samia Longchambon looked fresh-faced and radiant as she stepped out with her adorable pooch Ralf near her Cheshire home on Friday.

The Coronation Street star, 37, kept it casual in a grey hoodie which she layered with a shiny purple jacket and teamed with a pair of gym leggings.

Samia teamed her sporty look with a pair of white trainers, and proved she was all for sustainable living by carrying a reusable doggy bag in her hand.

The actress went make-up free and wore her honeyed locks in a loose wavy style, completing her effortless and natural style.

Earlier this week, Samia was spotted out strolling with her husband Sylvain and their son Yves, four, however this time she appeared to be going solo.

Last week, Samia took to Instagram to share a sweet snap from a woodland walk alongside Sylvain, Yves and her daughter Freya, 10, from her marriage to ex-husband Matthew Smith. 

It comes after Samia candidly revealed that lockdown has helped to ease her ‘all-consuming’ panic attacks.

She also let slip that the soap’s stars have two WhatsApp group – one for the women and one for men, which is supposedly ‘a bit rude’.

Since the long-running ITV soap stopped filming due to the COVID-19 lockdown, the show’s stars have been using the app to stay in touch.  

Samia, who plays Maria Connor, sweetly said that working on Coronation Street is like having an extended family.

She told The Sun: ‘The boys have their own group. Theirs is all a bit rude. The guys all send each other naughty things and we don’t want to see what they are doing. 

While the mother-of-two has previously struggled with ‘all-consuming’ panic attacks, she says that the lockdown period has helped her anxiety.

She admitted: ‘I’ve found it’s really eased while being on lockdown. I’ve had social anxiety most of my life which has been very challenging.

‘I hope that by talking about it I might be able to assure other people that it’s normal too, and that it’s something you can deal with.’
