In 2025, The Sun On Sunday revealed how Georgia had broken up with her actor boyfriend Charlie de Melo.

Charlie played Toyah Battersby’s lawyer husband, Imran Habeeb, in Corrie and they had begun dating in late 2022.

A friend revealed: “Georgia and Charlie are no longer a couple, but they remain friends who care about each other deeply.

“They have lots of happy memories together, but are both really focused on work at the moment and looking forward to the future, there are no hard feelings.”

Georgia has played Toyah in Coronation Street for the past 28 years, but Charlie’s character was killed off five years after he joined.

Imran died of a heart attack in June 2022, leaving millions of Corrie viewers in tears.
