Coronation Street star Colson Smith has been flooded with good luck messages as he announced what appears to be his biggest challenge since starting his fitness journey. The actor, who is known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, shocked fans when he revealed his epic 10 stone weight loss for the first time in 2020.
Colson completely overhauled his lifestyle and documented his journey in his own YouTube film, Bored Of Being the Fat Kid. When lockdown hit, and the cast and crew suspended filming at the Salford-based set, Colson packed up and went back to his family.
It was then, he previously told the Manchester Evening News, that he chose to put himself first after spending so long being a self-confessed “people pleaser''. It was during lockdown that he found his love of running and while lockdown was challenging for everyone, it turned out to be the best thing for him.
