Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon sets up spa in TV dressing room

And Samia, who plays hairdresser Maria Connor, has been given the green light by bosses to offer treatments to her fellow stars.

She joked it will be a better way to spend her downtime between takes than guzzling biscuits.

Samia said: “They’ve said I can do it in my dressing room. So I’ll be offering treatments soon.”

“We’ve got a girls WhatsApp group, so all the girls are up for it. Everyone keeps asking when I’m going to have my chair in.”

The soap veteran, who will celebrate two decades on the cobbles next year, said that a session of reflexology, where a therapist massages pressure points on the soles of the feet, is the perfect way to pass the time between scenes.

She said: “We have a lot of downtime where we’ll be hanging around for a couple of hours, so people can just pop in my dressing room.

“I just need to get my bum into gear and get started. It’ll save me from sitting around gossiping and eating biscuits between scenes.”
