Georgia May Foote is ‘done’ with reality TV

Georgia May Foote is "done" with reality TV for "a while."
The former ‘Coronation Street’ star may have came second when she took part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ two years ago but she has admitted she doesn’t think she’ll sign up to another series in the near future because she wants to focus on acting.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "I always say never say never but I don’t think so. ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ was the one I wanted to do because it meant learning a new skill. I think I’m done with reality TV for a while."
And, although bosses are currently on the hunt for a new head judge following legend Len Goodman’s decision to leave last year, the 26-year-old actress is adamant she’ll never claim a position on the panel – like Alesha Dixon did when she won the show.
She said: "I know Alesha Dixon became a judge after being on the show but acting is my priority at the moment. It’s so sad he’s leaving.
"His replacement needs to be somebody with an old head on their shoulders and plenty of experience. Karen Hardy would be great, she knows competition dancing. Somebody to rein Bruno Tonioli in."
Georgia found love with professional dance partner Giovanni Pernice when she was on the programme but they split up just eight months later and now the Bury-born actress is loved up with male model George Alsford.
Although their relationship is going from strength-to-strength, Georgia has no intention of settling down any time soon as she wants to focus on herself for now.
She explained: "I’m concentrating on myself while I’m still young. I was so upset when I turned 26. I was like oh my gosh, I’m actually on my way to 30. My sister Katie turns 30 this year which is scary as I always feel that I’m not too far behind her – 30 feels like the age when I should be being sensible and getting married."
