Coronation Street’s Samia Longchambon poses topless as she shows off red marks after ‘relaxing’ back treatment
CORONATION Street star Samia Longchambon has revealed she’s gone to great lengths to relax.
The 40-year-old underwent a cupping treatment and shared the results with her followers.
Posing topless, Samia revealed her marked back and wrote: “Given cupping a try… despite how it look it was relaxing.”
During the cupping treatment, a therapist puts special cups on their client’s skin and leaves them on for a few minutes – to create suction.
This causes the skin to rise and redden as your blood vessels expand.
When done properly, it has many benefits – including helping to ease pain and inflammation; increase blood flow, relaxation and well-being; aid detox; and provide a deep-tissue massage.
Samia is best known for playing Maria Windass in the hit ITV soap.
But she recently revealed she’s trying something new and will be taking part in Cooking With The Stars.
The show sees eight celebs go head to head while being mentored by professional chefs.
She will go up against actor Jason Watkins, boxing legend Chris Eubank, actress Joanna Page, singer and television personality Peter Andre, Busted’s Matt Willis, Steps’ Claire Richards and Love Island star Indiyah Polack.
Sharing a snap of herself with French chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, Samia wrote: “Thrilled to finally announce the new challenge that I’m taking on… @itv Cooking with the stars!
“Thank you to you, wonderful @jeanchristophe_novelli .. I feel so honoured to have you teaching me how to cook properly. I couldn’t ask for a better mentor.. I’m loving every delicious second!”
