Can add colourist to the list of the ice skater’s talents!

| Updated:

Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon has revealed her husband, Sylvain, has coloured her hair while they are in lockdown.

And the results are very impressive!

Although Samia admitted it went a ‘shade of minty green’ at first, after a couple of washes it looks great.

Samia’s no hairdresser

Sharing the after look on Instagram, Samia said she didn’t trust herself to do it – even though she plays a hairdresser on Coronation Street!

Another #lockdown first 😬@slongchambon can add hair colourist to his list of talents…. my roots were getting lively so Sylvain did a pretty decent job of refreshing my colour yesterday! 😍🙌🏼💁🏻‍♀️ (I didn’t trust myself to do it.. I might play a hairdresser in @coronationstreet but I’m actually not as skilled as Maria when it comes to hair 😆) *disclaimer, it did first go a minty shade of green when I washed it out 😱😂 it is now loads better after a couple of washes with @headandshoulderseu (I got that tip online.. #notanad ) Ps for those who want to know, I used @wellahairuk #colourfresh #semipermanent from @lookfantastic #stayhome #homehaircolor #itwilldo 🏡💖🙏

“Another lockdown first: Sylvain Longchambon can add hair colourist to his list of talents,” she wrote.

“My roots were getting lively so Sylvain did a pretty decent job of refreshing my colour yesterday! (I didn’t trust myself to do it, I might play a hairdresser on Coronation Street, but I’m actually not as skilled as Maria when it comes to hair).

“Disclaimer, it did first go a minty shade of green when I washed it out, it is now loads better after a couple of washes with Head and Shoulders.”

She went on to explain the products they used.

Looking good

Her co-star Jane Danson admitted her husband is refusing to help with hers! She commented: “I keep asking Rob to do mine! He cuts the boys’ hair but wont go near mine. I look like Worzel Gummage right now!”

Fans all commented on what a good job Sylvain had done.

“Multi-talented! He’s a keeper,” said one.

Another added: “Looks gorgeous, well done Sylvain.”

Sod it.. this isn’t a flattering pic I’m well aware BUT I’m feeling grateful for lots of things today, not least this blue sky above me. #lockdown has lots of negative aspects and those affected by this awful virus are never far from my thoughts 🙏♥️. But among the negatives, I’m also thankful for lots of things so thought I’d make a list of a few of those.. Spending this precious time at home with my husband and kids and having time to play in the garden with them because of the beautiful weather we’ve been given lately. ☀️🌺 Doing my daily #yoga practise outside which is keeping me calm and centred. 🧘🏻‍♀️ Letting my hair dry naturally and giving it a rest from heat styling (even if it does resemble a 🦁🤪) Home cooking everyday. 🥗 Not having to set an alarm. ⏰ Reading lots. 📚 Improving my French 🇫🇷… and finding a new love of bike riding! 🚲 What are you all grateful for? …. 🤔♥️ #gratitude #love

She still looks gorgeous to us!

Samia Longchambon is luckier in love than Maria Connor

Samia’s alter ego, Mara, is currently engaged to Gary Windass.

But while Samia’s real-life hubby is helping at home and doing her hair, we can’t imagine dodgy Gary would be quite so considerate during lockdown!

He’s trying to cover his tracks after murdering Rick Neelan.

Rick’s daughter Kelly has turned up in town. Feeling guilty, Gary has begun to defend her after she leaked Asha Alahan’s sex tape online.

Adam Barlow will grow suspicious as to why Gary’s so interested in Kelly, but could that lead to his killer secret coming out?

And how will Maria cope when she finds out she’s picked yet another wrong’un?
