Georgia May Foote left fans worried after she revealed she has been battling a painful illness for nearly a week.
The former Coronation Street actress, 33, who is best known for playing Katy Armstrong on the ITV soap, took to Instagram to share her symptoms, including severe stomach cramps and an upset stomach.
Posting from bed on Saturday night, Georgia wrote: 'Day 5 of having a really bad stomach.
'Tried to eat my first proper meal since Xmas Day and belly said no. Anyone else got this, how do I stop it? The cramps are so painful.'
She added: 'Literally out here looking for tips now cz this is getting long'
Georgia later appeared on her sofa, wrapped in a grey jumper, telling followers: 'This seems to be my most-ever replied-to story. Everyone keeps talking about this flu going around, but I don't have the flu. I just don't know what this is.'

With doctors' surgeries shut over the holidays, the soap star turned to fans for advice on easing her discomfort.
Georgia also detailed her home remedies, including a hot water bottle and flat coke, while followers recommended other options like peppermint tea and ginger biscuits. She promised to stock up on their suggestions, hoping for relief.
A few hours later, Georgia appeared in her car makeup-free to give her fans an update and to show them what she had purchased in the hope of a speedy recovery.
She said: 'Yes, I’m very aware I look like death. You asked for an update so thought I’d show you what I got. I spoke a chemist; he said that this is the best thing for me to get.
'I asked about ginger cos I have this every single morning anyway and he said that might be irritating so go for it in something, so I went for these biscuits, hopefully these stay down.
'I’ve gone for gluten free so there’s no chance of it making my tummy hurt. I got some Kefir yoghurt as you all suggested. It’s a bit like Actimel but more yoghurty.
'I got some rice cakes just for something to nibble on, some re hydration drinks, basically the same as dioralyte its just six quid cheaper, some Buscopan as he said this would help and some paracetamol.'
This isn't the first time the actress - who starred in Coronation Street from 2010 to 2015 - has shared her health struggles.

Earlier this year she appeared on This Morning Live where she opened up about her experience with vitiligo, which according to the NHS, is a long term condition that is caused by a lack of melanin, a pigment in the skin.
After a holiday to Egypt in May, the Strictly Come Dancing runner up shared a picture of her hands and posted: 'Everytime I go on holiday and I get a beautiful tan, I see how much my vitiligo has spread more than ever before.
'I would be lying if I didn't say it gets to me. It makes me feel super insecure at times. But seeing how the people around me support me and still love me the same makes my heart feel full.
'I've noticed people staring, having a good old nosey with their faces screwed up, and that's when my heart drops.
'So this is just a friendly reminder to those people to be kind. I'm sure the way it makes you feel is nothing in comparison to how the person with it feels.'
She added: 'I'm proud to be a voice for people like me with the condition. I battle with how I feel about it every day. Today's one of those days I remember there is nothing I can do about it. So here we are. Showing it in all its glory ( I do have lipstick on, but my whole colour has now gone in and around my lips)'
Georgia ended her post: 'And please. Let's be kind'
