Georgia was on Coronation Street for five years from 2010 to 2018. She is also well known for playing Alison Simmons in the BBC school drama series Grange Hill from 2005 to 2008.

In 2015, she was runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing, partnered with Giovanni Pernice. In May, the actor opened up about her insecurities about vitiligo, which causes parts of the skin to lose pigment or color.

“Every time I go on vacation and get a nice tan, I see how much my vitiligo has spread more than ever,” Georgia explained in a selfie. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say it touches me. It makes me feel super insecure sometimes.

“But seeing how the people around me still support me and love me just the same makes my heart feel full. I’ve noticed people staring, having an old man with screwed-up faces, and that’s when my heart drops.”

The star added that she wanted to give “a friendly reminder to those people to be nice”, adding that “how it makes you feel is nothing compared to how the person with it feels”.

“I’m proud to be a voice for people like me with this disease. I struggle with how I feel about it every day,” she continued. “Today is one of those days where I remember there’s nothing I can do about it. So here we are. Showing it in all its glory.”
