Samia Longchambon said: 'Happy birthday! 50… more like FITTY!'

Another said: '50 looking 30! Have a gorgeous day. Happy Birthday.'
While a third wrote: 'Wait what!!!!!!!! 50?! You literally look 30. Happiest of Birthdays to you lovely. Enjoy xxx.'
Sally is married to co-star Joe Duttine, 54, who plays taxi boss Tim Metcalfe.
The couple tied the knot in 2022 after getting engaged in March 2020 and postponing their wedding due to the pandemic.
Speaking about their on-set dynamic, Sally recently joked to OK! Magazine: 'I'd be very happy never to have a scene with him ever again.
She continued: 'I love Joe to bits, but I don't like working with him – I'm never going to like working with him.
Famous friends and fans quickly filled the comments with birthday wishes, many in awe of her youthful looks
'Bless him, we've got very different work processes – let's just put it like that. I like to come fully prepared, and he likes to flesh it out on the floor.'
Sally and Joe quickly fell in love after she first joined the cobbles in 2017.
Previously appearing on Loose Women, Sally explained why they postponed their wedding.
She said: 'I'm not quite sure where we're gonna be in December, the way things have been dealt with so I didn't want to risk arranging a wedding.
'We want to have a party - so if there's 15 people allowed to come, it's not great really.
'So we thought that it was best if we defer it for a year, and hopefully get the wedding that we want.'
On the Coronation Street front, Sally also opened up about her character's latest drama - a secret fling with her brother-in-law, Carl, while husband Kevin battles cancer.
She told OK! that the storyline is 'complete lust at first sight', and said there's 'undeniable chemistry' between the characters, adding that her addict character finds the affair 'exhilarating'.

Shoppers run to Primark for new summer tracksuit – it comes in three colours and hailed the ‘perfect airport outfit'
SHOPPERS are racing to Primark this week after spotting a "cute" new tracksuit in store - and it's only £22. The two-piece set has already been hailed as the perfect airport outfit by delighted fashion fans. 5 5 5 So if you're jetting off on holiday soon and need a comfy outfit for travelling, you've come to the right place. And it's stylish as well as slouchy, coming in three gorgeous colours that will match a tan perfectly - dark brown, sage green and cream. The oversized T-shirt is priced at £10, while the tracksuit bottoms will set you back £12. If you hate cuffed trousers, they're the ideal pick for you too. Modelling the new sets in the changing room, a member of staff at Primark's Lincoln store said: "These T-shirt tracksuits are back and in the nicest colours yet! Who else wants all of them?" The clip quickly racked up 19,000 views, with fashionistas loving the new arrivals. "Need immediately", one gushed. A second cried: "Omg the brown!" "Already bought it", chimed in a third. A fourth insisted: "Omg I need one!" Fashion fans are 'loving' Primark's new £6 Zara dupe - it's a summer essential, half the price and 'so cute' Meanwhile, a fifth added: "Oh very cute." But a sixth did advise: "Defo size down twice I would recommend. Mine is massive, I already went down one size." Elsewhere in store, shoppers have found a winning summer dress that's floaty and great quality - and there's a mini-me version too. Amanda, the self-proclaimed "confidence queen' and size 14 fashionista, who regularly shares high-street fashion content online, has praised the Primark frock that's super floaty and cool. 5 5 She modelled the sleeveless V-neck Trapeze Mini Dress, that's ideal for holidays. Thrilled with the white trapeze frock, which features an elegant tiered shape, the content creator beamed: 'This one might just win me over girls, because there's a mini-me. 'The quality of this feels absolutely fantastic. It's lovely and floaty and oversized.' The mini dress is available not only in white, but green too and is priced at £20. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
