Coronation Street's Lisa George hospitalised
Former Coronation Street star Lisa George has shared a photo from hospital on her Instagram Stories.
Coronation Street alum Lisa George has been hospitalised after being diagnosed with "low iron".
The 56-year-old actress, who played Beth Tinker in the ITV soap from 2011 until 2024, received iron infusions after showing signs of anemia, which is when there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout a person's body.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she shared a shot of a cannula in her arm as she received the iron infusions, with the caption: "Finally having the first of my iron infusions - I have pushed for this after showing anemia and low iron and haemaglobin levels."
Lisa went on to claim that she has repeatedly requested an iron infusion for some time.
The soap star added: "You have to shout the loudest to get anywhere!"
Earlier this year, Lisa revealed she lost an impressive three stone after turning to a low-FODMAP diet, which "reduces certain kinds of carbohydrates that are hard for people to digest", according to Cleveland Clinic.
She also had an £8,000 upper blepharoplasty and a brow lift to remove sagging skin around her eyes after feeling it was "ageing" her.
Lisa feels more confident since having the pricey eyelid surgery in January 2025.
She told Closer magazine: "My eyes have opened up so much more, I smile better, and even my lashes look longer. I'm really pleased with the results and so happy I had it done.
"It's common when you're ageing to see your brows get lower, and your eyelids start drooping, but every time I squinted or smiled, my top lid would cover my whole eye. I'd look like I was frowning, and it'd make me feel so down."
Although Lisa is thrilled with the results of her cosmetic surgery, she wants work done to the lower part of her face to fully feel confident in her skin.
Lisa explained: "I've always had a round face, with lots of fat pockets, but as I've got older, my jowls have become so heavy.
"Some people say I'm lucky to have a full face because it's worse to look gaunt, but at a side profile, my chin hangs down, and my neck gives away my age really badly.
"It might sound extreme, but I've been to several professionals, and they've said, 'You could have Botox and filler all you want, but it still won't do what you're after - you need a lower facelift,' so I've decided that's what I'll do."
