The 'Coronation Street' actress is said to have grown close to Brad Howard - who previously dated Georgia's former co-star Michelle Keegan - following her split from her fiancé John Sage last month.

The brunette beauty's close friends insist "a spark" has developed between the pair.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Georgia has been in a relationship for so long, it initially felt weird being single.

"She's been hanging out with Brad, as well as other pals, but there is certainly a spark between them. He's a good-looking bloke, so you can't blame her if she falls for his charms."

The 24-year-old actress quit her role as teenage mother Katy Armstrong on the soap last month to follow her dreams of a career in movies and is thought to have ended things with John just a few weeks before she said farewell to the ITV show.

Meanwhile, Michelle, 27 - who dated Brad in 2010 - is now engaged to former 'The Only Way Is Essex' hunk Mark Wright and is planning to tie the knot later this year.
