Casualty star Georgia Taylor has said that she finds it surprising that people recognise her more for her days on Coronation Street than for her work on the medical drama.

The actress currently plays Dr Ruth Winters but used to have the role of Toyah Battersby on the ITV soap.

She told Radio Times: "I left Coronation Street seven-and-a-half years ago, but I still get recognised more for it than for Casualty - even in Bristol where everyone watches Casualty. It's flattering but mind-boggling, because physically I'm really different now. In Corrie I was 17 playing a 14-year-old and was 22 when I left."

Describing her time on Coronation Street, Taylor added: "I spent some formative years on the Street playing Toyah Battersby and have a great affection for it."
