Coronation Street Samia Longchambon shared an emotional throwback as she celebrated a birthday over the weekend.
The actress, best known for playing Maria Windass in the ITV soap, was busy as she organised a party for her son's birthday.
Yves, who Samia shares with her Dancing On Ice star husband Sylvian Longchambon, turned six on Friday.
The 39-year-old is also mum to Freya Smith, her daughter from a previous relationship.

Taking to Instagram, Samia shared sweet snaps of her grown-up boy enjoying a fancy bouncy castle and day out with the family.
"Happy 6th Birthday Yves," she wrote.
"I'm SO proud and grateful to be Mummy to our wonderful, smart, kind, funny and loving boy.. Can’t wait to celebrate properly later (after school finishes)."
She then posted a picture to her Instagram story of a baby Yves with a Corrie legend.
The little one was sat on the lap of Liz Dawn, best known for playing Weatherfield legend Vera Duckworth.
Vera was one-half of the best-loved couples Corrie has ever seen as she was married to Jack.
Liz played the character for 34 years and was even appointed an MBE in the 2000 Queens Birthday Honours.
Alongside the picture of Liz and Yves, Samia wrote: "This lovely pic of Yves with Liz just popped up on my memories...
"And today is the anniversary of Liz's passing.
"I like to think it's a little 'hello' from afar."
She added the words miss you, our Vera and one of a kind with hashtags.
The Leeds actress sadly died in September 2017, at her home in Whitefield, Greater Manchester.
Her funeral later took place at Salford Cathedral.
Vera died in Coronation Street in 2008 and two years later, shortly before dying himself, Jack saw a vision of Vera and they both danced together in the home they shared - now occupied by Fiz Stape and her children.
