Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote responds to controversial decision to suddenly kill her off
Former Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote revealed how she truly felt about her soap character being killed off.
The 2015 Strictly Come Dancing finalist, 32, first appeared on the cobbles in 2010 as Katy Armstrong.
Katy soon began a relationship with Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) and the pair had son Joseph.
After her exit from the show in 2015, Katy was killed off-screen in a car accident in 2017.
In a recent Instagram Q&A a fan asked if she was ‘disappointed’ that her character was killed off on the ITV soap.
‘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.
‘Corrie was an amazing nearly 5 years for me, I learnt so much and will forever be grateful for the show.’
She continued: ‘Would I have gone back if I could? I can’t answer that because I will never know. But the time I had there was a special time in my life and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to have played not only one, but two roles in the show.
‘It’s iconic.’
This comes after Georgia revealed she enjoyed working as a nail technician during her breaks from acting.
When she is not busy on the Cobbles, she operates her own business under GMF Nails and said that she qualified in the profession more than two years ago.
Explaining she was ‘taking on new clients’ via her Instagram page, the star offered fans a glimpse inside her double life.
Alongside a snap of the actress dressed in a nail tech uniform, she penned a lengthy caption outlining her history with the profession and alerted followers to the fact that she was open to booking them in for appointments.
Georgia typed on her business account: ‘Now taking on new clients!
The actress starred as Katy in the northern ITV soap from 2010 to 2015 and enjoyed praise for her portrayal of Alison in Grange Hill from 2005 to 2008.
