Coronation Street actor Colson Smith has showed off his incredible weight loss after following a fitness regime.
Colson, who plays Craig Tinker in the popular soap, admitted he was ‘spurred’ on to lose weight by a new storyline he is involved in.
Appearing on a chat show over the weekend with Aled Jones, the 18-year-old revealed he has now lost three and a half stone and admitted he ‘feels like an athlete’. He said “I feel like an athlete. Everything is monitored. My diet is monitored.”
The teenager revealed he started working on his body when he left college to reduce his boredom and is now part of Ultimate Performance Fitness in Manchester, whom he gives credit to for his weight loss.
Colson’s on screen character Craig is set to embark on a new storyline on the soap as he attempts to become a policeman. Talking to Aled, Colson revealed his character wanted to join the police force after witnessing Kylie Platt’s tragic death on the cobbles.
Viewers will get to see a ‘different side’ to Craig as he argues with his mum Beth regarding his choice to join the force which will play out over the next few months.
