Georgia May Foote first found fame on Coronation Street but the Strictly Come Dancing winner has been working as a nail technician for the last four years
Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has revealed that her beauty business has burned down in a fire. The 34-year-old took to her Instagram page to tell her followers about the sad news.
The Strictly Come Dancing winner has been working as a nail technician as well as acting for the last four years and has her own beauty business. Georgia explains in the video that other people’s businesses have also been impacted by the fire.
She said: “Now as some of you may know I’ve been a nail technician now for the past 4 years alongside my acting. Unfortunately my beautiful little studio was affected by a huge fire within the storage world unit in Middleton last night.
“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.”
She added: “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. Fire is the most devastating thing. Thousands of pounds of stock has gone in seconds.”
Friends and fans of the star took to the comment section to leave their sympathetic comments. One said: “Love this! Let the community come together.”
As a second wrote: “Sending you all so much love this is just heartbreaking,” with a third adding: “So sorry. Let me know if I can help.”
Georgia recently opened up about struggling with an incurable skin disease. The former Coronation Street star is living with vitiligo and shared photos of the disorder while admitting she was having a tough time handling the illness.
According to the NHS, vitiligo is a “long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin” and is caused by an autoimmune disorder. Georgia said that she first started suffering with the issue in 2020 but it’s only got worse and is now on her face.
She snapped a selfie as she sat in her car and wrote: “My heart goes out to anyone who has this condition. Mine was brought on in 2020 [upside down face] I wonder why!
“I just wanted to show the reality of it. Some days are so so hard and I get so angry about it. I will always try to be brave to show others with the condition that it’s ok. Sometimes it gets the best of me.”
She added: “We have got this. I pray one day we get the cream passed for use in this country. When I go on holiday in a few weeks I beg to please be kind with comments. I know you will be able to see a lot and it’s going to be hard to deal with.”
