Fire crews attended the scene when her old salon burned 

She soon enjoyed a stint on Strictly and had a flurry of modelling jobs but soon found herself struggling financially and as such turned her back on fame for a regular job.

Georgia found herself being a nail technician and ploughed what she left of her celebrity earnings into opening her own salon, GMF Nails.

But she was left devastated when the salon caught fire and burned down earlier this year.

It left her without work once again but she has now revealed that she is back up and running and is due to open a brand new salon very soon.

She took to her salon’s Instagram site to give her fans an update where she confirmed they could still book in for nail appointment ahead of announcing her next venture.

Georgia said: “So sorry I have been so quiet! You guys have literally booked me right up so thank you!

“Also the salon is coming along nicely!

“I will be announcing the name and the page to follow today so keep your eyes peeled!

“Work starts tomorrow to get it all going and I cannot wait!!”

Georgia was left crushed when the salon, based in a Middleton storage unit, burned to the ground.

The fire occurred at a difficult time for Georgia as she was navigating a shock split from her husband of two years and considering a divorce.

Speaking about the fire earlier this year, the soap siren said: “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.

Financial worries forced her into a new venture 

“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 launched a GoFundMe earlier this year to raise cash following the fire and her marriage split.

It is not explicitly clear if this is the cash which has been used to fund Georgia’s new salon.
