Coronation Street's Colson Smith unhappy after soap shares photo of him

Coronation Street star Colson Smith was left unhappy after the soap shared a photo of him and a co-star.

The soap shared a snap of his character, Craig Tinker, and Faye Windass - played by Ellie Leach. Craig and Faye are in a relationship, but the latter almost cheated on her boyfriend in a recent episode.

Colson, 24, has recently lost a staggering 10 stone after taking up running during lockdown. The star has played Craig, the son of Beth Sutherland, in Coronation Street since 2011.

On screen his police officer character took up running after finding he was out of breath while chasing shoplifters. Craig told his friends he was going to make an effort to get healthier after being bullied at work.

Speaking of his weight loss in a short documentary, Bored of Being the Fat Kid, that he shared on YouTube last June, Colson said: "I’m not on a diet. I’m changing my life."

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the official Coronation Street account shared a snap of Craig cuddling Faye and giving her a kiss on the forehead. The caption said: "Will Faye come clean about her near kiss with Michael?! Missed tonight's episode? Watch now on the ITV Hub, link in bio!"

Many fans have commented on the photo, urging Corrie bosses to leave their "happy" relationship alone. Colson himself also commented, for a different reason - he said: "Nice angle of me this :/".

Other Instagram users were quick to reply, with Charlotte saying: "You look great!". Debi Cooper said: "Aw you're gorgeous", while Freya Rowley said: "Why do I find this comment relatable?"
