Coronation Street star reveals she’s gone back to very normal day job eight years after quitting soap

GEORGIA May Foote has confessed that she has gone back to her very normal job eight years after her top flight role in Coronation Street.

The actress played the role of Katy Armstrong in the ITV soap opera and enjoyed a glitzy showbiz lifestyle alongside it.

However, these days Georgia, 32, is doing something much more ordinary.

In a new Instagram post, the glamorous star confirmed that she would be heading back to work as a nail technician having successfully trained for the last two years.

Setting up her own brand, GMF Nails, she wrote a lengthy Instagram post where she told her fans she was “taking on new clients”.

Georgia said: “It’s been over two years since I qualified as a nail tech and it’s been the best two years getting to know you all!

“I spent the last two years working with some amazing girls who have now become life long friends, who taught me everything I needed to know, and gave me the confidence to do everything you guys throw at me!

“Over 3 months ago I took the plunge to move into somewhere a bit more intimate, working alongside another incredible nail tech and I absolutely love our new little space guys!”

She went onto admit that whilst acting was her main ambition in life, her new role in the nail industry allowed her some much needed “security”.

The star added: “As you may know, acting is my main career and always will be.

“But nails gives me that little bit of head space and security most actors need!

“I am very grateful you have all supported me every time I have had to run off to film something! It means a lot when you are proud!

“I am now open to taking on new clients and looking forward to meeting many more of you!”

Alongside her famous role on the Corrie cobbles, Georgia also appeared on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 where she was the runner-up.

Prior to her role on the popular ITV soap, she played Alison Simmons in Grange Hill for three years.
