Corrie's Georgia May Foote opens up about autoimmune disease affecting her mental health
Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote has revealed to fans that she suffers from an autoimmune condition that is affecting her appearance. The 32-year-old star, who played Kay Armstrong on the soap until 2015, suffers from vitiligo.
Foote has now shared her experience and frustration of being diagnosed, and misdiagnosed, with the condition. She revealed her condition in an Instagram post for World Vitiligo Day. In her post, she said: "Happy World Vitiligo Day. I developed little white patches on my skin in 2020. To which was wrongly diagnosed as tinea versicolour. I tried everything the doctors said and none of it worked. This just resulted in me feeling worse every time I saw it spread and get bigger in other places.
Along with her message, she shared pictures and videos of the blemishes on her skin. In one video she showed a close-up of her hand, which was covered in white patches, including a large area on her palm. While the physical effects are noticeable, Foote said worrying about the condition has impacted her mental health and complained she had not received any support.
