Fighting talk...

It must be strange to be stopped by random people while you're going about your everyday business and one person who's had enough is Coronation Street's Georgia Taylor. The actress, who plays Toyah Battersby on the soap, said yesterday that she'd been called 'rude' by a fan for refusing to take a selfie with them. In a tweet, Georgia said that she was in the doctor's office when someone wanted to get a photo with her.

"Since when was it deemed acceptable to ask for selfies in the doctors reception?" she wrote.

Casualty actress Amanda Mealing tweeted to say that she'd had a similar experience when she was scattering her father's ashes. So... yeah. Best to be sound and choose your moment wisely when fangirling over your favourite soap star.
