Coronation Street Star Samia Longchambon Shares Swimsuit Photo

Samia Longchambon is an actress, best known for her role on Coronation Street. She also appeared on Dancing on Ice, where she met her husband, Sylvain. Longchambon recently enjoyed a vacation with her family, and shared highlights on Instagram. In them, she wore two different swimsuits: a black two-piece, and a leopard print one-piece. She captioned the post, “I know I could’ve just put some caption about holidays been amazing (which they are obviously), but I feel like we get enough of people ‘living their best lives’ on here without showing the reality sometimes.. Hope you’ve all had a lovely summer break and to those people affected by the flight delays… I feel you!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Samia Longchambon stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Believes In Balance

Longchambon talked about her wellness secrets in an interview with GoodTo.com. She says that her family believes in balance when it comes to food. “We eat quite healthily as a family – but we’re not ‘boring healthy’. We have takeouts, we love a good pizza, but as a rule we eat well and watch the sugar intake and stuff. We don’t eat much red meat and if I do buy it, I try to buy organic and free range.”

2. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Longchambon has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. “I always take my make-up off at night,” she told GoodTo.com. “As I wear quite a lot during the day when I’m working. I’ve also started, as I get a bit older, trying to put a night cream on when I remember. But I just find keeping hydrated and getting a good night’s sleep seems to work better than any creams.”

3. She Gets Workout Help From Her Husband

Longchambon’s husband, Sylvain, is an ice skater. She tells OK! Magazine that she turns to him to help her stay in shape, especially after having her children. “Sylvain came up with an exercise plan as I haven't got a clue. He's got me in shape for my Corrie comeback. What I really like is that because he's a trained skater and athlete, he has different ways of training you."

4. She Loves Smoothies

Longchambon shared some of her wellness secrets with Express. She says that she and her family all love to make smoothies. ”I don’t even like the word diet. I just try to eat healthily. We’ve a brilliant Nutribullet food extractor to make my daughter, Freya, smoothies. I like fruity ones but my boyfriend Sylvain (Longchambon) will do one with oats, soya milk, dried berries, nuts and seeds.”

5. She Doesn’t Stress About Her Appearance

Longchambon tells GoodTo.com that she isn’t stressing about her appearance. Especially as she gets older. “I try not to obsess about ageing. I have a facial once a month and try to look after myself and take my vitamins and hope for the best really. I’ve never had Botox but never say never. I said I would never go and do Dancing on Ice but I did it. To be honest, I find the idea of Botox a bit scary so I’d rather stick to drinking water and having a fringe!”

1. I’m a Celebrity

Harold went on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! to show people another side to her personality. “I can be a little ditzy at times but I am definitely not a ‘dumb blonde’. I want to show I can do the trials, challenges and get stuck in,” she told Daily Mail before the competition started. “I’d like to think I will be good if people are really struggling. I am not, however, very good at being bored, nor am I a morning person either. I will definitely muck in with all the jobs. I don’t mind cooking or cleaning the toilets. I am scared of everything. I am dying to find out how vile the food will be! I am a bit scared of the dark. When you go to the House of Horrors at Halloween and things jump out at you, I am not very good when I can’t see!”

2. Jamie Oliver’s Encouragement

Harold credits Jamie Oliver with encouraging her to become a star, after appearing on Jamie’s Dream School. “Jamie Oliver was a complete life changer for me,” she tells Sunday People. “I was so lucky to have got on that programme. It was so much fun and a completely new experience. It made me believe in myself and made me realize I could achieve whatever I wanted in life. You just need a little bit of encouragement sometimes and someone that believes in you.”

3. Lola’s Attitude

Harold went through illness when she was young, which left her behind with her education. “At that point I just gave up and didn’t try with GCSEs," she tells The Mirror. "I knew I’d never get good grades, I’ve always wanted to act; drama was the only lesson I enjoyed at school… I wouldn't cause trouble but I had a lot of Lola’s attitude. I’d be feisty and answer back. I was so small when I started secondary school that I’d have to stick up for myself."

4. Spoiler Alert!

Harold has bittersweet feelings about saying goodbye to Lola. “When you’re working so hard, time just seems to fly by and stand still at the same time, you’re in a bubble,” she tells OK!. “It’s daunting, but exciting too. It was such a draining and emotional story and I was so physically and mentally exhausted by the end, so when it stopped it was a bit of a shock to the system. The Lola chapter is fully closed for her, but also for me, and that’s given me a different drive. I’m really, really excited for my new chapter.”

5. Hollywood Dreams

Harold isn't afraid of being typecast as a soap actress and has big dreams of working in Hollywood. “I see soap actors in all different roles now, and when I watch them, I just see them as a new actor and not as a soap actor – so I’m excited for all that,” she tells OK!. “I’d love to work with someone like Margot Robbie, I think she’s great, or any of the Harry Potter actors like Daniel Radcliffe, but I’m also totally into gritty crime dramas. I’d love a series where you know the start, middle and end, because in a soap you don’t find out your story until the last minute. It’s just a machine, it’s just constant. So it would be lovely to know what’s happening for a change.”
