ITV Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has shared that her business has burned down in a tragic fire.
The 34-year-old soap star, best known for playing Katy Armstrong, took to Instagram to share the news with followers.
Sharing in a video: "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."
The Corrie star 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 business.
"We would be eternally grateful.
"Fire is the most devastating thing. Thousands of pounds of stock has gone in seconds."
Followers of the ITV star shared their support, with one sharing: "This is sad to hear."
