A former Coronation Street star has been rushed to hospital for "last-minute" surgery, leaving many of her fans concerned.
Georgia May Foote took to the popular social media platform Instagram to share the news.
She said: "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."
The 33-year-old star abandoned acting to pursue a career as a nail technician. During her time on the ITV soap opera, she becomes well-known for her role as Katy Armstrong.
The nail technician, who starred in Coronation Street between 2010 and 2018, is also well known for her role as Alison Simmons in the BBC school drama Grange Hill (2005 to 2008).
She also participated in Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 and was partnered with Giovanni Pernice.
Corrie star Georgia May Foote opens up about vitiligo
Previously, the actress opened up about her vitiligo, a condition that causes parts of the skin to lose their pigmentation.
She said: "Everytime I go on holiday and I get a beautiful tan, I see how much my vitiligo has spread more than ever before. I would be lying if I didn't say it gets to me. It makes me feel super insecure at times."

"But seeing how the people around me support me and still love me the same makes my heart feel full. I've noticed people staring, having a good old nosey with their faces screwed up, and that's when my heart drops."
She added that she would like to remind those people "to be kind," telling those concerned that "the way it makes you feel is nothing in comparison to how the person with it feels.
"I'm proud to be a voice for people like me with the condition. I battle with how I feel about it every day."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
