Georgia May Foote, who works as a nail technician, said she ‘lost everything’ in the Middleton blaze
A former Coronation Street star has said her ‘heart is broken’ after her beauty business was destroyed in a devastating fire.
Georgia May Foote, who played Katy Armstrong in the ITV soap, has been working as a nail technician for the last four years, and recently revealed her business was one of a number affected by a huge blaze at a storage unit in Middleton.
In a post on Instagram, Georgia told fans she has ‘lost everything in the fire’. She added the unit is now set for demolition, saying it is ‘the hardest situation for many of us to be in’ and thanking generous members of the public for their donations and messages.
“Unfortunately the building is now about to be demolished, my heart is broken,” she wrote. “I was to first of all say how sorry I am to anyone who has lost even a single item in that fire. I can’t imagine how those who have things that can’t be replaced feel. I’m so sorry.”
The actress previously posted on the social media app sharing an appeal on behalf of others who had lost their livelihoods in the blaze. In her latest post, she continued:
“I posted my last reel as an appeal to help us all get back to work as soon as possible, without us working we can’t buy stock, without stock we can’t work. It’s the hardest situation for so many of us to be in. With our whole place of work and tools gone and families to feed and bills to pay.

But here we are passing 10k! “There are 12 of us affected by this who work in the beauty industry and every penny will be evenly distributed to help us get back where we were.
“Thank you for everything that has been donated too!”She added a plea to ask people to continue donating to those who had lost businesses in the fire. “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep donating. We have all lost thousands each and this will help us so much.
