Georgia Taylor gained recognition as Toyah in Coronation Street, who she's portrayed for over 20 years - get the lowdown on her life, including her love story with Charlie De Melo
While her Weatherfield alter ego sparks drama, Georgia Taylor leads a drama-free life with her former co-star Charlie De Melo.
Many fans of the Manchester-based programme may not even know that Georgia opted for a pseudonym early on in her career, changing her legal name, Claire Jackson, when she made her soap debut.READ MORE: Kate Middleton's favourite runners on sale for €30 as fans rave about comfort and style "As a teenager I didn’t really think the consequences through of opting for a completely different name, but it’s meant there’s been quite a bit of confusion over the years. At this point I’ll pretty much answer to anything!"
Since returning to the cobbles, Georgia's character embarked on an on-screen romance with solicitor Imran Habeeb, once rivalling for his affection with her sister Leanne Battersby . The solicitor succumbed to a heart attack in devastating scenes aired in 2022 - a far cry from reality as Imran actor Charlie, 34, and Georgia revealed fiction had caught up with life. The pair, who share a nine-year age gap made it clear they were in a romantic relationship as Georgia had moved on from her former partner and Casualty co-star Mark Letheren.
During a recent press chat, Georgia also made a rare comment about their romance, saying: "When I joined the show I was on a five-month contract and I didn't see anything beyond that."
