Corrie star Georgia Taylor has taken time out from her busy schedule to lend her hand to a very good cause.
The actress, 38, who plays Toyah Battersby in the ITV soap, posted a video on Twitter today, in which she gave an impassioned speech in support of #here4u – a campaign launched by her Corrie co-star Dan Westwood to combat loneliness and depression.
In the short clip, Georgia spoke directly to her friends and family, telling them “the kettle is always on”.
And her followers on social media were soon heaping praise on the star for her act of kindness.

Said Georgia: “I’ve been made aware of this campaign started by Dan Westwood called #here4u.
“So here is my pledge. To my friends and family, if you are ever feeling anxious or troubled or down, my door is always open and the kettle is always on.
“I hope they already know that, but sometimes I think when you are struggling you just need someone to remind you of that and to say: ‘Look, I’m here for you.’
“Let’s just spread a bit of a positivity on a bit of a gloomy Sunday.”
