Coronation Street actress Georgia Taylor, best known for playing Toyah Battersby, has delivered a powerful clapback to an online troll who targeted her over a new tattoo.
Standing Up to Online Criticism
The ITV soap star, who first appeared on the cobbles in 1997, recently took to Instagram to share her latest body art with her 104,000 followers. She posted a series of images from her visit to the newly established Tiger Heron Tattoo studio, showcasing beautiful floral-inspired ink.
In her caption, Georgia praised the artists, writing: "Sarah and Paul have created the most gorgeously chilled, safe and inclusive space. It's an absolute joy hanging out with you both. Sarah, thank you for decorating my body so beautifully, as always."
The Unpleasant Exchange
While most fans rushed to compliment the actress on her fresh ink, one individual posted a now-deleted nasty comment. Rather than ignoring the cruelty, Georgia fired back with a defiant response.
"What a f****** weird thing to say," the actress replied. "Maybe I'm having a midlife awakening." This wasn't her only interaction with critics - when another user questioned "Please tell me that's not real," she simply stated: "Of course it's real."
Overwhelming Support from Fans
Despite the negative comments, countless supporters adored Georgia's latest body art. One admirer gushed: "It's beautiful just like you." Another commented: "Absolutely beautiful darling," while a third expressed: "I'm having serious tattoo envy right now. I need to get mine booked in. That's lovely."
Away from her social media presence, Georgia continues to portray Toyah Battersby in dramatic Coronation Street storylines. The character has faced numerous challenges recently, including fighting ovarian cancer and navigating the fallout from an affair with her on-screen sister Leanne's partner, Nick Tilsey.
