The 37-year-old actress, who plays Maria Connor on Corrie, shared a sweet seaside throwback of herself and pal Alan Halsall on holiday in Greece.
In the snap, Samia modelled a summery bikini top with some bright yellow shorts, topped off with a bucket hat and shades.

Beaming into the camera, the two youngsters worked matching pairs of tinted black sunglasses.
In her caption, Samia revealed: “Seeing as it’s Thursday.. #tbt @alanhalsall and moi in #kefalonia 2002 when Al and my bro’ gate crashed mine and @samcunninghamshorland girls holiday! Ahhh #goodtimes.”

Samia joined the cast of Corrie in 2000, having appeared on the show as an extra during her childhood.
During auditions, she trumped stars like Steps’ Suzanne Shaw and Girls Aloud singer Kimberly Walsh when she landed the role.
Meanwhile, Alan joined Coronation Street back in 1998, at the tender age of 16.

Their characters had a short-lived romance in the early noughties, with Tyrone proposing to Maria at the top of Blackpool Tower.
However, things fell apart when Tyrone fell for flame-haired babe Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) – leaving Maria heartbroken.
