ITV Coronation Street's Maria and Kelly stars look gorgeous in the sun in post-workout snaps

Coronation Street stars Samia Longchambon and Millie Gibson haven't let the sunny weather distract them from their workout routines. The actresses, who play Maria Windass and Kelly Neelan in the ITV soap, took their exercise outdoors as Greater Manchester, like much of the rest of the country, continued to bask in some spring rays.

It came ahead of big scenes for both Samia and Millie in Coronation Street, which aired on Friday night, and left fans admitting they 'didn't see it coming'. Samia, who has played Maria in the Salford-based soap since 2000, shared a selfie on her Instagram Story in a black sports bra and matching leggings.

With her locks tied into a low messy bun and fringe ruffled, the Eccles-born actress, 39, flashed a smile for the camera and gave a thumbs up.

"5k done... got the #fridayfeeling now," she wrote across the snap before also admitting: "Defo needed the filter," to hide her reddening face.

Also in the a mood was Millie, who shared a selfie on the social media platform. She had her hair slicked back away from her face and posed for the snap with her sunglasses on her head.

"First 5k outside in a while," she happily shared as she posed without any make-up and in her running gear. She then headed home and shared some videos of her adorable dog enjoying the dry weather in their back garden.

Millie appears to be a keen runner and was one of many who joined Corrie co-star Sally Matthews last year as she completed her last run after setting about a charity challenge to run 50 5ks after turning 50 herself back in 2020.

The actress, known for playing Jenny Connor, confessed to 'never being remotely sporty' but having a go at popular running series Couch to 5K got her inspired and she set about her fundraising for five different charities.

Samia, however, has often shared a glimpse into her yoga sessions - even getting one in on the Corrie set. In November last year she took to Instagram with a selfie of herself on her exercise mat in what looked like her dressing room.

"Got my #yoga practice done during a break from filming today.. A little bit of daily self care really does go a long way!
@adrienelouise #yogawithadriene has been my game changer for the past 3 years.. thank you Adriene!" She then added the hashtag 'anxiety relief' after being open with her mental health struggles in the past.
