Coronation Street star Colson Smith had fans swooning when he took to social media with a fresh selfie. But he soon left them disappointed shortly after debuting his new look.
The 24-year-old actor, who is best known for playing the loveable cop PC Craig Tinker on the ITV soap, showed fans that he isn't always the baby-faced cop we see on the small screen after they watched him grow up on screen as he was just 12 years old when he first set foot onto the famous cobbles.
Posting a picture of himself to his Instagram grid, Colson could be seen sporting a black hoody and matching snapback as he gave his best serious pose towards the camera. But everyone was more focused on his new look as he wrote: "Grew a beard for a bit."
