Coronation Street star devastated as business burns down in fire
Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote, 34, has been left devastated after her business burned down in a fire.
The Katy Armstrong actress has been working as a nail technician alongside acting for the past four years, and took to Instagram to share the news.
'Unfortunately my beautiful little studio was affected by a huge fire within the storage world unit in Middleton last night,' she explained.
'Not only has my business burnt down, but so has many other peoples. Along with peoples most loved possessions. My heart goes out to them all.
'Even though as beauticians we can move into a new space, our stock and tools, which we spend years collecting have all gone. We can no longer work. My friends and fellow beauticians have to literally start again. With no way of even making the money to buy these tools. Some of them have children.
'I am asking if you could please help us all by just giving a little towards helping my friends rebuild their businesses. We would be eternally grateful. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLFdL6NsY5s/
'Fire is the most devastating thing. Thousands of pounds of stock has gone in seconds,' she concluded.
Georgia starred as Katy Armstrong on the cobbles from 2010 until 2015.
During her time in Weatherfield, Katy fathered son Joseph Brown (William Flanagan) and had an affair with Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott, played at the time by Sol Heras).
In 2017, she was killed in an off-screen car crash while living in Portugal.
In an Instagram Q&A last year, a fan asked if Katy was 'disappointed' that her character was killed off. More Trending
'I wouldn't say disappointed at all,' she replied.
'I'm one of those people when I leave a job I'm ready for the next adventure.

Major Coronation Street exit confirmed as star leaves after 2 years
Coronation Street viewers waved off Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) last month when he headed off to visit Simon Barlow – unaware that these would be his final scenes. Bobby first arrived on the cobbles in late 2023 and announced to Carla Connor (Alison King) that he was Rob Donovan's son. Carla took her nephew in and gave him a roof over his head, and supported him when he found out the true extent of Rob's crimes. However, she was left feeling betrayed when she found out that Bobby planned to help Rob escape police after he had kidnapped her, and ordered him to move out. When Bobby was later accused of being Lauren Bolton's (Cait Fitton) blackmailer, he decided to visit Simon abroad, which is where he has now chosen to stay for the foreseeable future. Metro understands that Bobby's exit from the street is a permanent one, though the door is still open for him to return in future. More Trending Jack is one of several Coronation Street actors to have left the show so far this year. Most recently, Sue Cleaver left her role as Eileen Grimshaw, with the character jetting off to Thailand following the death of sister Julie Carp. Characters Mason Radcliffe and Craig Tinker were also killed off this year, while Max Turner and Daisy Midgeley also left.

EastEnders' Lorraine Stanley looks slimmer than ever after dramatic five stone weight loss
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EASTENDERS' Lorraine Stanley looks slimmer than ever after undergoing a dramatic five stone weight loss. Lorraine, 48, who recently hit out at fab jab claims, put on a jaw-dropping display in a tie-dye grey dress with her 10-year-old daughter, Nancy. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Lorraine Stanley looked slimmer than ever in a dancing video with her 10-year-old daughter, Nancy Credit: Instagram The mother-daughter-duo busted some moves to a song set to slow motion in their kitchen in an Instagram Story. Lorraine, who shares Nancy with her partner Mark Perez, flashed a beaming smile while dancing away with the sprog. The soap star has been putting her new physique on full display in recent times. Just last month, she sported a slimming flower print crop top and trousers combo as she partied the night away at a special bingo event. Underneath the tied top, she donned a skin-tight white vest which only emphasised her tiny waist. For shoes, Lorraine opted for complimentary open-toe leather platform strapped heels for the occasion. Alongside flaunting her physique, the star also opened up on a huge new milestone in her life. She captioned the snap: "5 months sober & still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety." The TV star also told how her changing figure was not down to popular weight loss jabs like Ozempic or Mounjaro. Instead, Lorraine opted for a gastric sleeve operation. EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley stars in very racy new film featuring full-frontal nudity One inquisitive fan on TikTok asked for Lorraine's secret, to which she simply answered back in the comments: "Gastric sleeve." A gastric sleeve is a weight loss procedure that removes a significant portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped pouch. The actress was written out of Eastenders in 2023 after seven years on the show in a huge shock to fans. Her character's axing was as part of a shock cast shake-up and her final scenes were aired in December of that year. She went onto reprise her fan-favourite role a number of times in 2024 before her last episode hit BBC screens in June. 4 She has been wowing fans online with her new look Credit: Instagram 4 The ex EastEnders actress has lost five stone Credit: Instagram / @lorraine_stanley_

Jesy Nelson updates fans with rare glimpse of partner Zion Foster and twins
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Jesy Nelson has melted hearts with an endearing clip of her partner Zion Foster and their tiny newborn daughter engaging in a playful dance, as the couple's twin daughters, recently discharged from hospital, settle into home life. Former band member of Little Mix, Jesy, who embraced motherhood for the first time last month following an extremely tough pregnancy, posted on her Instagram stories on Friday morning. The charming video captured 25-year-old singer Zion tenderly singing to one of his baby girls on their bed, while he demonstrated some lively dad moves and Jesy chuckled along in the background. Just a week prior, Jesy shared the uplifting news that her baby twins had made it to their family home for the first time. The ex-Little Mix vocalist introduced her daughters, named Ocean Jade Nelson-Foster and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster, to the world on May 18. The little ones came prematurely, born at just over 31 weeks, amidst a risk-laden pregnancy troubled by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. The 'Mine' singer spent considerable time hospitalised after requiring emergency surgery to safeguard her unborn children. With evident pride, Jesy disclosed that she and her daughters have returned home, just shy of a month since they were born, making it back in time for her own birthday celebration. In an Instagram post shared last week, the songstress uploaded a snapshot cradling her girls at home, appending the heartfelt words: "My babies made it home for my birthday," reports the Mirror. In May, Jesy Nelson shared the heartwarming news with her followers that her little ones had arrived "healthy and fighting strong" despite being born prematurely. More recently, she opened up about her daunting time spent in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with her daughters. In an emotional online message, she disclosed: "Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU." Describing the harrowing experience, she continued, "It's the most scary overwhelming feeling of emotions not being able to feel like you can protect your babies. Naturally as a mother you just want to hold them and comfort them when they cry but you can't because there are what feels like a million wires coming out of them. Tubes and masks in the way with people poking and prodding them, it breaks your heart into a million pieces." Jesy, known for her hit 'Black Magic', couldn't hide her elation when her children were finally reunited after their treatments. She went on to say: "Having them reunited for the first time ever today was the most magical feeling I will never be able to describe. The strongest little girls I've ever known who really do have the most inspiring story to tell." The former Little Mix star, Jesy, and 25 year old musician Zion have been in an intermittent relationship since January 2022. Throughout Jesy's pregnancy and hospitalisation, Zion has been a constant source of support by her side. In early May, the couple sparked rumours of a secret wedding when Zion posted a series of black and white snaps on social media, showing him and Jesy grinning and chuckling together in bed. Jesy fuelled speculation by commenting "My husband" beneath the photos, which sent fans into a frenzy of excitement.
