Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon surprised fans this weekend as she posed with her niece for a sweet family snap.
The actress, who plays Maria Windass in the ITV soap, took to Instagram to post the photo of her posing with niece Sasha Ghadie.
Samia, 38, kept it casual for in a grey tracksuit, while Sasha rocked a lacy green top and leather trousers.
The Corrie star used her Instagram post to joke about the difference in evening plans between the pair as Sasmie draped her arm around her niece.
But fans were completely distracted by their likeness - thinking they could be twins.
"Night in v night out?" Samia shared alongside the post. "Night in wins for me every time. Happy to leave the glam nights out to my doll of a niece @sashaghadie."
Corrie co-star Georgia Taylor, who plays Toyah Battersby, was the first to mention the similarities between the pair commenting: "Darling you look like twins!!! gorgeous."
"Twinnies," Leanne Battersby actress Jane Danson added.
And fans thought the same thing.
"Haha I thought you were announcing that you’d got a wax model of yourself! You’re almost identical," joked one.
Another said: "I thought that was you in different clothes and make up."
"This has blown my mind," a third added.
A fourth said: "I had to do a second take then I thought it was your twin sister."
"Niece? I wondered if you had done some clever photoshopping with two pics of you merged into one! Absolutely stunning. You could be identical twins," another added.
A fan gushed: "Wow - you are almost identical - both beautiful ladies."
And it's fair to say that many more people thought the same thing.
