Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon opened up about what she needs to ‘work on’ while scrolling on social media.
The Maria Windass actress, 41, shared a picture of herself chilling outdoors and revealed how looking through Instagram made her feel like she wasn’t doing ‘enough.’
‘Just a thought.. (might delete later ????),’ she began.
‘I love instagram but one thing i need to work on is scrolling and then feeling like I’m not doing enough in life.. whether it be having enough fun, doing enough as a parent, being more ambitious, travelling more.. or even being better at tidying my home!’
‘Insta is great for showing off our ‘highlights’ but sometimes we need to remind ourselves (myself included) that what we see on here is the tiniest slice of what is going on in someone’s life.. ‘
She added: ‘We’re all pretty much winging it in life so let’s just do our best, wish each other well and be at peace with wherever we are at. Do you know what I mean?

Fans replied in appreciation to Samia’s honesty with @markmurphyactor: ‘I try to remember that comparison is the thief of joy. Just focus on yourself and what makes you feel good, don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. Hope you’re keeping well xx.’
@northernlass72 added: ‘I put the gram onto quiet mode at a certain time to stop me scrolling.’
Over on Coronation Street, Samia’s character Maria is currently married to Gary Windass (Mikey North), but in recent weeks things have been rocky between the two.
After discovering her son Liam Jr. (Charlie Wrenshall) was contemplating suicide, Maria installed a secret camera in their apartment to keep an eye on him, but ended up catching Gary in an intimate moment with his ex Sarah Barlow (Tina O’Brien).
In a recent Instagram post, Samia shared a video of her first ever scene, and captioned it: ’24 years ago today was my first appearance as Maria @coronationstreet.. I was so nervous to be with the wonderful Bill Tarmey (and I think it shows ????)
‘We filmed it on Easter Sunday and I remember being thrilled that I got a free Easter egg to take home on day 1! Imagine my first line being ‘cobblers’ .. ????
I’m super grateful to still be a part of this mighty show ???????? #goldolddays @alanhalsall ????????????’
