Former Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has revealed that she recently had last minute surgery.

The actress, who played Katy Armstrong in the ITV soap, shared the news on her Instagram Stories via

her business account.

In the story, Georgia, who now works as a nail technician, wrote: ‘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.’

This comes after the former soap actress showed off a stylish dark brown bob on Instagram.

‘New Hair,’ the 33-year-old penned.

‘Back to the dark side! By the absolute best @natalieaustonhair.’

Georgia recently urged people to be kind, after receiving negative reactions to her Vitiligo, a condition caused by a lack of melanin in the skin.

Taking to Instagram, Georgia shared a picture of the patches of vitiligo on her hand, which she explained became more noticeable after tanning on holiday.

‘Everytime I go on holiday and I get a beautiful tan, I see how much my vitiligo has spread more than ever before,’ she wrote.

She went on to explain how the condition sometimes leaves her feeling ‘insecure’, but that the support her loved ones show makes her ‘heart feel full’.

Georgia first appeared on the Cobbles of Coronation Street 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.
