Georgia May Foote, who played Katy Armstrong on Coronation Street, has been cast as Holly Golightly in a West End stage version of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
It's a role that Audrey Hepburn played in the film, based on the novel by Truman Capote.
Georgia said: “I am so excited that for my first theatre role I will be playing such an iconic character. I cannot wait to join the cast of Breakfast At Tiffany’s as Holly Golightly. It’s a wonderful adaptation of an incredible story and I’m really thrilled to be part of it!”
Playing the part of Holly from September 19 to November 19, she will share the role with pop star Pixie Lott and The Inbetweeners actress Emily Atack.
Georgia was runner-up in last year’s Strictly Come Dancing. She was paired with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, who she is now dating.

Good for her! Never thought much of her as Katy but she was a revelation on Strictly. Best of luck, Georgia.

What happened to her much ballyhooed American adventure?
