ITV Coronation Street star rushed to hospital for urgent surgery as she gives work update
Georgia May Foote played the role of Katy Armstrong in ITV's Coronation Street before competing on Strictly Come Dancing with Giovanni Pernice.
Former Coronation Street actress turned beautician Georgia May Foote has shared that she is having to take a break from work following a "last minute" surgery. The ex ITV soap star, 33, was previously known for her role as Katy Armstrong on Corrie but she now works at a beauty salon in Manchester.
Posting to her business Instagram account, the former actress explained that she had to rearrange her upcoming appointments with clients as she had an urgent surgery. Georgia added that she was unsure how long recovery would take.
She told her followers: "Clients booked in last week, I just wanted to let you know that I had last-minute surgery today. I'm not sure what the recovery is like or how quick I will be able to return. So I am just giving a heads up that your appointment may change."
The Coronation Street actor did not give details about the kind of surgery she undertook or why she was taken to hospital in the first place.
Georgia first appeared on the Cobbles of Coronation Street in 2010 as Katy Armstrong. She portrayed the character, who was married to Chesney Brown, until 2015 when Katy was killed off in a car accident.
The actress is also well known for her role as Alison Simmons in the BBC school drama Grange Hill, which she played from 2005 to 2008. She also participated in Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 and was partnered with Giovanni Pernice.
Previously, Georgia has used her platform of over half a million followers to raise awareness for vitiligo - an autoimmune disorder.
Speaking about the condition, she said: "Everytime I go on holiday and I get a beautiful tan, I see how much my vitiligo has spread more than ever before.

"I would be lying if I didn't say it gets to me. It makes me feel super insecure at times.
"But seeing how the people around me support me and still love me the same makes my heart feel full. I've noticed people staring, having a good old nosey with their faces screwed up, and that's when my heart drops.
"I'm proud to be a voice for people like me with the condition. I battle with how I feel about it every day," she continued.
