Coronation Street babe Samia Longchambon has taken to social media to debut her glam hair transformation.
The 38-year-old actress posted a stunning selfie on her official Instagram account on Wednesday, showcasing her cropped and slightly darker hairdo.
Samia told her 373,000 followers that she admitted she keeps on “doing a double take” when she spots herself in the mirror.
The soap star penned alongside her stunning selfie: “Bit darker, bit shorter… Doing a double-take when I catch myself in the mirror now.”
Over on her Instagram Stories, Samia shared a photo of herself in the salon chair in highlight foils, while donning a face mask.

While a second added: “It’s really gorgeous.”
A third posted: “Looks fab.”
Another agreed: “Welcome to the dark side, beautiful.”

Samia also received sweet messages from her Corrie castmates who complimented her new look.
Alexandra Mardell, who plays Emma Brooker on the ITV soap penned: “Gorj,” with a series of heart emojis.
Abi Frankin actress Sally Carmen posted: “Lovely!”
Former Corrie co-star Catherine Tyldesley also left a series of heart emojis underneath Samia’s snap.
The soap star has played Maria Connor in Corrie since 2000
The soap actress, who joined Coronation Street in 2000, has been spotted filming scenes with her co-stars after returning to the Manchester set.
Samia and the rest of the Corrie cast and crew were forced to stop filming on set due to lockdown restrictions, but production thankfully resumed last month.
During her time in lockdown, Samia lamented how she longed for a haircut.
She wrote on Instagram: “Felt good being back in Maria’s ‘trim up north’ uniform yesterday… @coronationstreet (if only I could book myself in for a colour n cut.”

The soap star got so desperate at one point that she even tried to dye her own hair as Corrie’s filming halted.
However, her at-home attempt had almost disastrous results with her hair nearly turning green.
Samia wrote on Instagram: “Another lockdown first @slongchambon can add hair colourist to his list of talents. My roots were getting lively so Sylvain did a pretty decent job of refreshing my colour yesterday! (I didn’t trust myself to do it.. I might play a hairdresser in @coronationstreet but I’m actually not as skilled as Maria when it comes to hair).
“Disclaimer, it did first go a minty shade of green when I washed it out it is now loads better after a couple of washes with @headandshoulderseu (I got that tip online…#notanad).”
Samia is married to former Dancing On Ice star Sylvain Longchambon and the pair are parents to four-year-old son, Yves.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV at 7.30pm
