Coronation Street star reveals devastating update on beauty business after building burned down
A CORONATION Street star has revealed a devastating update after her beauty business burned down. The former ITV soap actress had created a successful side-hustle to her acting by training as a nail technician and setting up a salon in Middleton, Greater Manchester. 6 6 6 Yet last week, Katy Armstrong actress Georgia May Foote - who left Corrie in 2015 and whose character was killed off-screen two years later - took to Instagram to report her salon unit had burned down. She launched a fundraiser for herself and the other businesses affected while they await a potential insurance payout - yet was hit with flack from cruel online trolls. Georgia, 34, has now given a hard-hitting update - telling fans the building will now be demolished, before capturing her abandoned salon chair in the rubble. In another video posted to her Instagram grid, she thanked fans for their kindness to date and said: "Guys! thank you so much! "Unfortunately the building is now about to be demolished, my heart is broken. "I was to first of all say how sorry I am to anyone who has lost even a single item in that fire. I can't imagine how those who have things that can't be replaced feel. I'm so sorry. "I posted my last reel as an appeal to help us all get back to work as soon as possible, without us working we can't buy stock, without stock we can't work. It's the hardest situation for so many of us to be in. With our whole place of work and tools gone and families to feed and bills to pay." She then told how there had been a glimmer of happiness in the dire situation and said: "I aimed to raise 10k not thinking for a second we would bet this support! But here we are passing 10k! "There are 12 of us affected by this who work in the beauty industry and every penny will be evenly distributed to help us get back where we were." Devastated Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote reveals her beauty business has burned down in huge fire "Thank you for everything that has been donated too! "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep donating. We have all lost thousands each and this will help us so much. Links in bio! "If you have another business that has been affected from this fire and you want me to help you with your fundraisers please get in touch." GEORGIA'S JOURNEY Prior to her role on the popular ITV soap, she played Alison Simmons in Grange Hill for three years. And 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. Back in 2023, she revealed her normal salon day job eight years after bidding farewell to Weatherfield. She trained for two years for her career in beauty and set up her own brand, GMF Nails. In 2023, she told how she had moved to the Middleton premises and wrote on social media: "Georgia said: "It's been over two years since I qualified as a nail tech and it's been the best two years getting to know you all! "I spent the last two years working with some amazing girls who have now become life long friends, who taught me everything I needed to know, and gave me the confidence to do everything you guys throw at me! "Over three months ago I took the plunge to move into somewhere a bit more intimate, working alongside another incredible nail tech and I absolutely love our new little space guys!" She went onto admit that whilst acting was her main ambition in life, her new role in the nail industry allowed her some much needed "security." She added at the time: " "But nails gives me that little bit of head space and security most actors need! "I am very grateful you have all supported me every time I have had to run off to film something! It means a lot when you are proud! "I am now open to taking on new clients and looking forward to meeting many more of you!" 6 6 6

Maya Jama sizzles in a racy black mini dress as she hosts the latest episode of Love Island: Aftersun
Maya Jama put on a sizzling display in a racy black mini dress as she fronted the latest episode of Love Island: Aftersun on Sunday. The Love Island host, 30, was sure to turn heads as she slipped into the thigh-skimming number to welcome a plethora of guests on the ITV2 spin-off show. Maya's figure-hugging dress featured an off-the-shoulder design, with a pretty white patterned trim along the neckline and hem. The star oozed confidence as she addressed viewers amid the latest episode, which saw her congratulate former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips on her baby news. Appearing alongside Demi Jones, Shaughna was congratulated by Maya hours after she revealed she is expecting her second child. Walking over to the two guests, Maya said: 'Hello, congratulations are in order, Shaughna!' The Love Island host, 30, was sure to turn heads as she slipped into the thigh-skimming number to welcome a plethora of guests on the ITV2 spin-off show The host continued: 'I mean amazing. Baby number two?' which the blonde beauty replied. 'two, here you go and busy!' Maya's show-stopping appearance comes days after showed off her incredible figure in a skimpy underwear set on Instagram following a lymphatic drainage massage treatment. The TV star flaunted her flat, toned tummy in a seamless green bra and a nude thong as she posed up a storm in a treatment room. The beauty went makeup-free for the massage session and styled her brunette tresses up in a loose ponytail. Tagging her massage therapist, Maya captioned the post: 'Lymphatic massage done @deborahmarcchi.' A lymphatic massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a specialized type of massage that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to remove toxins and waste from the body. The treatment involves gentle, rhythmic strokes to encourage the movement of lymph fluid through the lymphatic vessels and towards the lymph nodes. It comes after Maya looked incredible in a pastel summer dress as she shared an insight into some of her favourite moments from Love Island launch week. The TV presenter flaunted her toned physique in a post shared to Instagram last Friday as she slipped into a Y2K Emanuel Ungaro yellow slip dress worth £895.00. She added inches to her statuesque frame with a pair of towering white slip-on sandals. To finish her figure-hugging summer look, she styled her voluminous raven tresses into beachy waves. Maya has appeared to be a fan of the floral prints this spring as she also slipped into a sizzling co-ord. Sharing a snap of her soaking up the sun on a balcony, Maya stunned as she showcased her toned abs in the skirt and top. Maya has also opted for more casual looks during the last week as she shared a snap dressed in baggy jeans and a black bodysuit. The stunner flaunted her flat, toned tummy in a seamless green bra and a nude thong as she posed up a storm in a treatment room To complete her look, she toted around her belongings in a shiny black clutch and styled her silky hair straight. And while the presenter had a very busy last week, she has enjoyed some downtime as she posted a snap wearing a large oversized grey T-shirt. She looked relaxed as she paired her casual garment with a set of trendy black rectangle sunglasses and a cap. Maya gave insight into behind the scenes of her glamorous look as she also posted a picture of her glam team. She revealed that it takes two stylists to get her show ready, as one person can be seen touching up her makeup while the other is working on her hair. Alongside the album, she penned: 'Only been days but it feels like months'.

Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together. I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE... I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners. NAME: Shea Mannings AGE: 25 FROM: Bristol OCCUPATION: Scaffolder WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together.

Is this the greatest memoirist of the 20th century?
When the artist Joe Brainard was in the midst of composing his fragmented memoir I Remember, in 1969, he wrote to a friend: 'I feel very much like God writing the Bible. I mean, I feel that I am not really writing it but that it is because of me that it is being written. I also feel that it is about everybody else as much as it is about me.' The grand claim was a good indicator of the book that was to come: ambitious yet playful, even childlike; self-disavowing as well as self-involved; perhaps, most of all, unabashedly honest. I Remember became Brainard's most celebrated written work. It is being reissued here in the UK by Daunt Books with a new introduction by Olivia Laing; in the US it has long been a cult favourite emblematising the 1960s New York School, of which Brainard was a key figure alongside poets Frank O'Hara and John Ashbery. The book comprises a non-sequential list of distinct memories, each beginning with the words 'I remember'. These memories encompass things, people, moments in time, urban myths, products, celebrities and dreams. They range from the very brief – 'I remember pony tails', 'I remember liver' – to short paragraphs elaborating on anecdotes – 'I remember a story my mother telling of an old lady who had a china cabinet…' – or fantasies – 'I remember daydreams of a doctor who (on the sly) was experimenting with a drug that would turn you into a real stud.' At first their effect is disorienting immersion, but the fragments gradually become like coordinates. A mid-century American childhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, comes into view, which modulates into adolescence and, occasionally, adulthood. As the memories hop between eras in Brainard's life, their grammar also sloshes between the past and the present, often with an evocative childishness, recording the way things can feel given or eternal: 'I remember chicken noodle soup when you are sick.' His list loops back to topics and repeats certain melodic phrasings. Its construction suggests both intuition and fine composition, and reminds you that Brainard was principally a painter and collage artist. I Remember sees the world in pieces, and these pieces themselves show a prevailing attraction to bits and details: 'little balls of ink', 'a blue glass mirror storefront in Tulsa with one piece missing.' Such fragments also propel the book's many sexual fantasies – 'I remember navels. Torso muscles. Hands. Arms with large veins.'; 'small areas of flesh', 'An orgy of fabric and flesh and friction (close-ups of details).' But Brainard's attraction to the glimpses and pieces that make up his book is not solely or simply erotic; not just a fetishisation of his own life. What carries the text is his sensitivity to the way that so much can be contained in the tiny and particular, and contrarily how whole worlds can be reduced to mnemonics. Memories are sometimes simply songs, sayings, or products, placed in Perspex-like quote marks: 'I remember 'The Tennessee Waltz.'', 'I remember 'Suave' hair cream.', 'I remember 'Queer as a three dollar bill.'' Brainard uses these quote marks artfully to suggest how a word or a thing is also a phenomenon: 'I remember a big Sunday lunch, a light Sunday night dinner, and in the morning – 'school.'' Among the songs and things and events – 'cinnamon toothpicks', 'shaking big hands' – runs a thread of negatives: memories of absences or lacks. 'I remember gift shops we didn't stop at,' Brainard writes. 'I remember not looking at crippled people.' 'I remember not allowing myself to start on the candy until the feature started.' And then there are Brainard's many frustrations, his unsuccessful efforts to imagine or understand things: 'I remember trying to realise how big the world is.' 'I remember trying to visualise my mother and father actually f------.' These kinds of absences, deprivations, and efforts shape us, informing our desires, imaginations, and senses of self. Brainard's form has the revelatory effect of showing how these absences can harden into potently present facts, sitting in our memory alongside what is real or realised, and becoming just as formative. Brainard hit on a brilliant device with his simple phrase. As the late Paul Auster observed in a reissue introduction in 2013, you can hardly read the book without having your own memories stirred. But Auster also notes that, despite having read the work several times, he finds it ironically hard to remember. It's true that while the form and certain memories are indelible, the way the book strikes you upon each reading is liable to change entirely. This is a function of Brainard's compacted form, which gives us only the memory, without interpretation, adornment, or association. Each is unburdened and capacious; as available to new meaning and feeling as one of the rocks Brainard remembers collecting, the ones 'you pick up and once inside wonder why.' It's a relentlessly specific time-capsule of a book, which bizarrely, movingly, seems to slip the confines of time.
