ITV Corrie's Samia Longchambon has barely changed as she shares clip from one of first jobs at 15

Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon is looking as youthful as she did as a teenager as she shared a brilliant throwback clip from one of her first jobs. The actress is now best known for playing Maria Windass in the ITV soap but before making the cobbles her home, she had a couple of other roles.

Samia's first foray into acting was in the crime drama Cracker in 1994, before she landed a small role as Charlotte in the CITV series Children's Ward a year later. She joined Corrie at the age of eight and 10 years later she became a regular on the show.
