Coronation Street’s Colson Smith looking super svelte as he says goodbye to gym

Coronation Street ‘s Colson Smith was looking slimmer than ever as he hit the gym for one last time before lockdown began again.

The actor, who plays Craig Tinker, has been branded unrecognisable by fans after returning to the cobbles following the first lockdown much slimmer and with different colour hair.

Colson lost a staggering amount of weight after he took up running in the first national lockdown and also decided to dye his ginger hair blonde as he switched up his look.

It caused Corrie fans to do a double take when he first walked back onto the street after filming was paused due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But it seems the 21-year-old’s health kick is far from over as he made sure to get in that one last gym visit before the second lockdown saw facilities closed once more.

Colson was looking super svelte as he posed up for a mirror selfie in an all-black outfit, including tight jogging bottoms and a jacket.

He held onto what appears to be a protein shake in one hand and wore a face mask over his nose and mouth as he snapped the picture.

“Wear a mask,” he wrote on top of the image before posting it on social media.

The star, who lives in Manchester, also shared a snap of himself inside his local gym, writing: “Last session in the gym. See you on the other side.”

Colson, who also stars in podcast Sofa Cinema Club with his co-stars Ben Price and Jack P Shepherd, has been embroiled in plenty of drama in the ITV soap lately.

His character as shot by criminal Scott, who was robbing the Bistro. Craig burst in to save Faye after hearing that someone was inside with a gun.

Before the first lockdown, his character had taken up running after becoming out of breathe while chasing some shoplifters.
