Coronation Street actor Colson Smith has been told he's his co-star's hero as he takes on a huge challenge away from the ITV soap. The 23-year-old is currently appearing in ITV's new show, The Games.
The reboot of Channel 4's programme of the same name started on Monday night (May 9) and sees 12 famous faces who have been trained and coached for three months take part in Olympic-style events including diving and weight lifting. Across a week of live shows, which end on Friday (May 13), the celebs rack up points and will be placed in either gold, silver or bronze medal position with a male and female winner at the end of the week.
The second episode of the programme, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff, saw the six male celebrities took part in the Men's Freestyle before they joined the six female celebrities for the mixed synchronised diving which saw them go in pairs.
