Known for playing the loveable Craig Tinker in Coronation Street, Colson Smith has been putting his sporting skills to the test in ITV’s brand new show The Games. After debuting on Monday night, Tuesday’s episode really endeared the soap star to viewers.
The first event of the night was the men’s 50m freestyle in the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre swimming pool. While all eyes were on the likes of Max George and Wes Nelson at the front, it was actually Colson who stole the heart of the nation.
The Cobbles favourite explained how he has pushed himself to the limit in preparation for Holly Willoughby's new show. In the VT prior to the event, Colson revealed how until recently he hadn’t been able to swim.
