Corrie star is now working as a nail technician after quitting ITV soap

A Coronation Street star is now working as a nail technician after deciding to step away from the spotlight.

Georgia May Foote, 32, who played Katy Armstrong in the soap, decided to quit the cobbles in 2015 before she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing. The actress has now launched GMF Nails after qualifying as a nail technician in 2021 and has even opened her own salon in Manchester. The salon's Instagram page reveals the soap star offers services including 1-1 lessons, builder gel, gel polish and a variety of nail art.

Georgia, who married her boyfriend Kris Evans last month, recently revealed she will be offering classes for qualified nail technicians, priced at between £150-£400, for two or six hours respectively. Her announcement read: "I will now be offering 1-1 lessons with myself! These lessons are for qualified nail techs who are looking to enhance and perfect their skills. Each tutorial will be fully tailored to each individual and what they wish to focus on. We can concentrate on prep and BIAB applications or nail art. Or both! The choice is yours! Each lesson comes with a goody bag worth over £50 for you to leave with Dm to book in! Any questions please ask."

The actress married her musician fiancé Kris Evans in July nearly two years after he popped the question. The soap star shone in a beaded fishtail gown as the couple tied the knot in a lavish log cabin venue surrounded by close friends and family.

Georgia first announced the news of the couple's engagement in December 2021, posting a photo of herself flashing her ring as she sat in front of a picturesque beach sunset with her beau. The soap star - who previously dated Strictly star Giovanni Pernice - wrote: " 30/12/2021. Mrs Evans to be. Of course I am still crying. @krisevansmusic I love you beyond words and I am honoured you have chosen me."

The road to love hasn't been easy for Georgia, who previously opened up about her difficult split from ex-boyfriend George Alsford. Following her break-up, the actress revealed it was a tough time for her as she got used to being single again. Georgia also dated Corrie co-star Sean Ward, who played murdering thug Callum Logan in the ITV soap before they broke up in 2015. The actress later went on to date her dance partner Giovanni after they met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015.
