Georgia is best known for having played Katy Armstrong for five years.
She penned: “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.”
She continued: “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 businesses.
“We would be eternally grateful.
“Fire is the most devastating thing. Thousands of pounds of stock has gone in seconds.”
Georgia‘s comments section was soon filled with reactions from her followers.
One penned: “Sending you all so much love this is just heartbreaking.”
Another added: “Love this! Let the community come together.”
The 8 fire safety checks you should do in your home every night
TO avoid a devastating fire in your home, there are some checks you should be conducting every night, according to Gov.uk.
- Close inside doors at night to stop a fire from spreading
- Turn off and unplug electrical appliances unless they are designed to be left on – like your freezer.
- Check your cooker is turned off
- Don’t run appliances such as washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers overnight
- Turn heaters off and put up fireguards
- Put candles and cigarettes out properly
- Make sure exits are kept clear
- Keep door and window keys where everyone can find them
While a third remarked: “So sorry. Let me know if I can help.”
Two years after leaving Corrie, Georgia’s character Katy was killed off-screen in a car accident.
Following her exit from the ITV soap, she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2015.
She was partnered with Giovanni Pernice, where they reached the final and finished as runners-up.
