Friends and fans rushed to comment.

Former Corrie actress Catherine Tyldesley, who played Eva Price, commented a string of heart-eyed emojis.

One fan wrote: “Beautiful pic.”

A second commented: “Gorgeous.”

Fans of the show will remember in Maria’s first years on Coronation Street, she used to keep her hair straight and mostly up in a ponytail.

However both Samia herself and Maria usually have their hair in curls.

Recently Maria has been at the centre of a tough storyline, as the hairdresser ended up having a miscarriage.

It turned out she caught the measles from Daniel Osbourne’s son Bertie, after Daniel failed to take the baby for his jabs.

Maria’s mum also failed to vaccinate her and at the hospital she was told her miscarriage was likely due to her having measles.
