ITV's Lorraine Kelly apologises to Coronation Street star Georgia Taylor after marriage mistake
20.05.2022 - 15:17 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Lorraine Kelly was left apologising to Coronation Street star Georgia Taylor following an accidental marriage slip-up. The Toyah Battersby actress appeared live on the presenter's self-titled ITV show on Friday live from her character's home on the cobbles.
Georgia, who has played the daughter of Les and Janice Battersby in the long-running soap on-and-off for 25 years, was on hand to chat to Lorraine about her current storyline alongside Imran Habeeb actor Charlie De Melo.
The recently married couple have recently been awarded custody of Imran's son, Alfie, whom he shares with Abi Franklin. But as viewers know, Imran hasn't played fair. The solicitor used paralegal Ben to get evidence former drug addict Abi, played by Sally Carman, is using again and used him as a witness in court after he spotted Abi with her old drug dealer mate, Dean, who approached her and asked for money, which she gave him to keep him off her back.

But as Corrie fans know, Abi isn't one to give up without a fight and after becoming suspicious of Ben, followed him and spotted him doing his own drug deal. He then caught her trying to get pictures and the pair ended up in a confrontation. After a scuffle between the pair for Abi's phone, the mum issued Ben with an ultimatum – either admit Imran paid him to lie or she'd turn over the video to his boss and police.
Abi's efforts, however, ended up being in vain as Ben still didn't come clean as he was offered a job with Imran and Adam Barlow as their assistant at the solicitor's office. Meanwhile, Toyah is completely oblivious to it all.
