Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote is 'still living with husband Kris Evans' despite the couple 'heading for divorce'
The former Coronation Street star, 34, has endured a torrid time of late after a fire ripped through her beauty business last month.
And it was revealed on the weekend that she's now heading for a divorce from Kris, who she tied the knot with just two years ago in 2023.
Speculation arose about a possible split as Georgia was spotted without her wedding ring on before removing all pictures of the her husband from Instagram.
A source later told The Sun that the couple's marriage 'seems to be over' and is 'on the rocks'.
But George and Kris are reportedly on good enough terms to still be living under the same roof as they work towards a divorce.
A friend of the couple told the publication: 'Georgia has been through a lot recently and it's not surprising that it has put strain on her marriage.
'She told friends that she wanted a fresh start after the terrible fire earlier this year and she's just not sure where Kris fits into that.
'They are still on good enough terms to stay in their home together,'
Another source revealed that many of the couple's issues centred around their financial situation.
It comes after Georgia, who is best known for playing Katy Armstrong in Corrie for five years from 2010, opened up on the 'nightmare' struggle she's faced trying to find acting work.
After her character was brutally killed off in a car crash, the model went onto appear in reality TV shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Juice, while she had a regular role on American fantasy series The Outpost in the early 2020s.
However in a new interview, the beauty revealed work has since dried up with the last few years being 'the quietest time' of her life.
She told the Sausage on a Fork podcast: 'I came back in the December of 2020 and I just realised, "Oh my God, there's no work."
'Everything that got stopped filming in the UK then got put on a back burner, and then there was a backlog of what was about to start filming. Then everything behind that took four years to come out, then we had the writers' strikes.'
Georgia continued: 'It's just been a nightmare. And that's why this has been the quietest I've ever been in my life. I think a lot of actors around the world will say the exact time.'
In addition to her lack of screen work, Georgia was dealt another devastating blow last month when her nail salon burnt down, having started the business to earn extra income amid her struggle to bag acting jobs.
Georgia was forced to start a crowdfunding page to raise cash to get her company, as well as other businesses affected, back up and running.
She said of the blaze: 'Within two hours the whole building was alight, and the whole thing burnt down. We weren't allowed back in there and nothing has been salvaged.
'Four years' worth of products and stock and everything. We can't get back to work without that stuff. It's thousands of pounds of stuff. You can't just go and buy it.
'I did start a fundraiser to raise some money for these ladies to help us get back on our feet and build our stock back up again that we've lost.
'It's passed the £12,000 mark. I'm really happy. It makes me really emotional to speak about it. I just know it's a lot of women's only income. I'm lucky that I still do my voiceovers and I do have jobs coming in.
'But, at the same time, I lost a lot of money in that fire. But people have lost entire homes worth of stuff that can't be replaced.'

Life Cycle of a Moth by Rowe Irvin review – captivating story of maternal love and male violence
In the woodland, beyond the fence, inside the old forester's hut, Maya and Daughter live in a world of rituals. The fence is secured with 'Keep-Safes' – fingernails, Daughter's first teeth, the umbilical cord that once joined them – to protect them from intruders. While their days are filled with chores, setting traps for rabbits and gathering firewood, every night they play a game they call 'This-and-That', in which they take it in turns to choose an activity – hair-brushing, dancing, copying – before saying their 'sorrys and thank yous' in the bed they share. From the beginning of British author Rowe Irvin's captivating debut novel, it is clear that Maya has created this life for herself and her daughter – who calls her mother 'Myma' – as a refuge from the brutality of the world beyond the fence's perimeter. Irvin's tale switches between two narrative strands: present-day chapters narrated by Daughter, a naive, spirited girl who is as much woodland creature as she is person; and more distant sections detailing Maya's rural upbringing with an alcoholic father and withdrawn mother, and the acts of male violence that led her to flee. Maya has taught Daughter only the words she needs for their existence, so although Daughter is 15, her language is childlike: 'Sweat dries in the furry unders of my arms.' Later, Daughter is out in the woods: 'Touch finger and thumb together now to make a circle for peering through. Move slow, pointing my seeing-hole at ground and tree and sky.' It's a feat that Irvin maintains this playful, almost incantatory voice in all Daughter's sections across these 300 pages. Maya tells Daughter that their rituals protect them against 'Rotters', people living beyond the fence, who are 'empty on the inside … hollow'. If a Rotter were to intrude on their sanctuary, they would be eaten away like 'gone-bad apples'. 'Shudder with the thought of it,' Daughter thinks. But as the novel progresses, the manner in which Maya controls Daughter's understanding of the world grows more frightening. When Daughter finds a glove in the woods – she thinks it is a 'blue hand blanket', and laughs at 'the way the long fingers flap empty at the ends' – she takes it to show her mother, thinking it will make her laugh too. It doesn't. 'It came from a Rotter,' Maya says. 'One must have got in during the dark and left it as a trick … You shouldn't have touched it.' Later, she is warned against being too inquisitive when she meets Maya in the ash copse, a rope around her neck and a stump beneath her feet. Maya tells her: 'If I step off my neck will snap and I'll be dead … The questions you ask, she says then, they can do damage, Daughter'. Daughter only has more questions when she finds the Rotter who dropped the glove. The intruder, a man named Wyn, is the first human she has ever seen apart from Maya. Her mother rages against Wyn, until a strange force stops her killing him. Once Maya convinces Daughter she has 'cut the Rot' from him, he is invited inside their dwelling, first roped-up and kept on the floor, and then given a seat at the table. More and more, Daughter questions Maya's logic. How did Wyn get over the fence, with all their Keep-Safes? And why is it suddenly OK for them to be around a Rotter? Wyn's outside perspective further reveals the extent to which the belief system they live by is simply Maya's coping mechanism for personal trauma. We know she has created this world out of a desire to protect herself and her kin. But with her love, she has also been deceptive, sometimes cruel. In impish yet tender style, Irvin thoughtfully explores what it means for a mother to care for a daughter in a world where male violence is everywhere. Life Cycle of a Moth is the very best kind of fiction: with the book open, you feel utterly transported; once you close it, you see how cunningly it holds a mirror up to reality.

Ed Sheeran reveals surprising new career tangent after being inspired by his parents
He's known for making some of the most popular tunes of the 2000s. But British icon Ed Sheeran, 34, is now ditching the microphone, temporarily, for a paint brush as he embarks on a surprising new endeavour as an artist. The Ipswich-born star's first collection, titled Cosmic Carpark Paintings, will go on sale this week and features a series of original canvases and unique prints masterminded by the man himself. Ed revealed that all of the paintings were inspired by celestial forms and created in a disused central London park during his Mathematics tour. 'I started painting at the end of my Divide Tour in 2019 and it's something that I've used as a creative outlet ever since,' he said. 'When I was growing up, both of my parents worked in art, so I've naturally always been interested in it, and I always enjoyed studying art at school. 'I was back and forth on tour last year, and I used a lot of my downtime in the UK to paint. I'd run to a disused car park in Soho each morning, paint and then run home and I'd do that daily until I headed back out on tour again.' Ed said that he was encouraged to pursue the possibility of releasing his own collection by British painter Damien Hirst. 'I told my good friends Damien Hirst and Joe Hage about the paintings and they encouraged me to do my own thing. 'So I decided to use it as a way of raising funds for my Ed Sheeran Foundation which supports music education in the UK and helps fund grassroots music projects, schools and equipment, so all kids have access to music. 'I want to thank Damien and Joe for everything they've done for me on this exhibition and I'm delighted to be putting it on.' The exhibition of paintings will be on display at the HENI Gallery on Lexington Street, London, between July 11 and August 1. 50 per cent of all proceeds from original sales and £300 from each print will go direcly to the Ed Sheeran Foundation. Ed's career move comes weeks after fans were left shocked when a photo of his rarely-seen wife's LinkedIn page surfaced. While the Grammy-winning artist has been rocking arenas across the globe, it turns out his spouse Cherry Seaborn has been quietly building an impressive corporate career of her own. A screenshot of her LinkedIn page which went viral online revealed that Cherry has spent years working as a Manager at consultancy firm Deloitte. After the image began circulating on X, formerly Twitter, it sparked a flurry of admiration and surprise online. Not only did Cherry juggle a demanding corporate job while being married to one of the world's most famous musicians, but she also hit pause on her career at one point to pursue further education. Her resume includes a Master's degree from Duke University and a Post Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Business from the University of Cambridge. And before her most recent stint as Manager in Deloitte's Nature, Climate and Sustainability - Innovation, she worked in both the London and New York offices, amassing nearly nine years with the firm overall. Ed and Cherry met back when they were teenagers at their high schools in Suffolk. They reconnected in 2015 while both were living in New York City, and tied the knot in 2018. Since then, they've welcomed two daughters: Lyra in 2020 and Jupiter in 2022. The screenshot revealed that Cherry, who met Ed when they were teenagers, has spent years working as a Manager at Deloitte
