Coronation Street star looks incredible in bikini on sun-soaked holiday
Coronation Street'sSamia Longchambon flaunted her stunning physique in a collection of scorching beach photographs from her Dubai getaway, posted on Friday.
The 43 year old soap star looked fabulous in a black two-piece before recreating an iconic Dirty Dancing moment with husband Sylvain, 45. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016, larked about on the shore as the French ice skating champion hoisted Samia into the air. Samia also struck a series of gorgeous poses against the golden sunset during an evening beach walk.
She wrote on Instagram: "Golden hour. Shukran aràka Dubai. It was so good to swap the UK weather for a bit of sun, why does the time on holiday seem to go twice as fast though?"

Samia's break comes after she opened up about a serious health condition that impacts her. The actress revealed late last year that she is suffering with a blood circulation disorder names Raynauds Disease. The condition means a reduced blood flow to a person's fingers and toes, but for the mum of two, it appears to only affect her fingers.
Sharing her health update with fans on social media comes after she posted a picture of her fingers appearing white at the tips. And so after noticing a flurry of messages in her comment section, the actress decided to respond.
She told her followers: "Seems many of you have the same thing and lots are asking for tips on how to deal with it.. I’ve had it about 20 years now and it’s not dangerous, it’s called #raynauds disease.. when I get too cold a couple of my fingers go numb and I lose feeling in them. "
She added: "It doesn’t last long but can be a bit painful when the blood returns. For me, it’s usually just my fingers so it’s quite mild, but I know that it can affect toes too in some people."
Samia has played the character of Maria Connor on Coronation Street for 25 years and has had a number of hard hitting storylines along her journey.
But noticing the desperation in knowing how to help deal he condition, Samia offered support to her followers. She the wrote: "My tips so far have been to keep as warm as possible (obviously!). Wear gloves when it’s cold out. Hand warmers are my best friend in winter."
Shea added: "Eat/ drink anything with ginger as that’s good for circulation. And keep moving my fingers to get the blood flowing again!" She then went on to say: "Even going down the freezer aisle in a supermarket can set mine off."
But Samia is not the only soap star to suffer with the condition, so too is Michelle Hardwick, best known as Vanessa Woodfield in Emmerdale.
Taking to Instagram, she too wrote: "I first noticed mine when I was 10 playing netball… Since then I’ve been diagnosed with Raynauds Disease. Thank goodness for hand warmers in that Emmerdale village."
Last August, Samia melted hearts after she posted a sweet tribute to her husband Slyvain, to celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary.
Sharing her milestone moment on Instagram, she wrote: "8 years as Mr and Mrs Longchambon and 8 years of pronouncing and spelling 'Longchambon', there's nobody I'd rather do this life with other than you @slongchambon .. Happy anniversary to us!"
And her co-stars and friends wasted no time in congratulating the pair. Jane Danson wrote: "The most gorgeous weekend! Happy anniversary guys." Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Metcalfe added: "Happy Anniversary to a very beautiful couple xxx."
