Coronation Street's Colson Smith is renowned for his role as Craig Tinker on the long-running ITV show. He first appeared on the show when he was 11 and quickly became one of the Cobbles' most beloved characters.
The 24-year-old's character was at the centre of the action in another dramatic week as Craig bid farewell to his childhood sweetheart, Faye Windass, reports the Liverpool Echo. The departing character is played by Ellie Leach, who has quit the cast to pursue new opportunities.
Colson and Ellie grew up together on the show and he told Lorraine Kelly this week that it is mad to think he won't be working alongside his friend anymore. On Thursday's edition of Lorraine, he said: "We worked together as kids, we went to tutoring, so went to school together. Now I've gone through her leaving and supported her through that.
