Former Coronation Street star Lisa George has shared a health update from hospital, revealing she has begun treatment for low iron levels after repeatedly pushing for medical intervention.
The actor, 56, who played Beth Tinker on the ITV soap for 13 years, posted a picture of herself receiving an iron infusion on Instagram.
“Finally having the first of my iron infusions – I have pushed for this after showing anemia and low iron and haemoglobin levels,” she wrote on her Story.
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 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.
She told Closer magazine after the January 2025 surgery: “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 also wants work done to the lower part of her face to feel more 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.”
