Coronation Street star rushed to hospital for emergency surgery as fans left concerned
Former Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has left fans worried after being rushed to the hospital to undergo an emergency operation
A Coronation Street star said they needed emergency surgery as they shared an urgent message on social media.
Former soap star Georgia May Foote revealed to her Instagram followers on Saturday that she had to take time out of work due to a sudden hospital visit. The 33-year-old, who transitioned from acting to becoming a nail technician, was previously known for her role as Katy Armstrong on the beloved ITV soap. She now works at a beauty salon in Manchester.
The former actress says she won't know how long it will take her to recover from the surgery and she may be unable to work for a while. Georgia apologised to customers who had booked appointments with her.

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."
Georgia starred in Coronation Street for five years, from 2010 to 2018. She 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, the star opened up about her vitiligo, a condition that causes parts of the skin to lose pigment or colour. 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."
The star added that she wanted to give "a friendly reminder to those people to be kind," adding that "the way it makes you feel is nothing in comparison to how the person with it feels".
"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. "Today's one of those days I remember there is nothing I can do about it. So here we are. Showing it in all its glory (I do have lipstick on, but my whole colour has now gone in and around my lips)."
