Coronation Street’s Colson Smith buys dream car as he drops £25k on electric blue BMW
Corrie’s Colson Smith said that ‘the wait was finally over’ as he celebrated his luxury purchase with his 163,000 followers
Colson Smith has splashed the cash on his dream car after overhauling his entire appearance earlier this year.
The Coronation Street star, who plays the lovable Craig Tinker on the hit ITV soap, took to social media on Monday to share his joy at finally being able to purchase the wheels of his dreams.
Alongside a snap of his sparkling electric blue BMW, the 22-year-old said that ‘the wait was finally over’ as he celebrated the luxury purchase with his 163,000 followers.
The swanky motor is believed to have set the soap star back more than £25,000.
Judging by the excitement instilled in his social media post, money wasn’t an issue when it came to deciding on Colson’s dream automobile.
“If you know, you know” he captioned the joyous post.
The Corrie favourite has undergone a massive transformation since filming halted back in March.
Colson recently revealed that he had lost almost ten stone since the UK went into lockdown.
Speaking to The Sun about returning to the Coronation Street set, he said: “We are in direct continuity, but I’ve almost lost about ten stone since we left work so I’m not sure that [my hair] is going to be the biggest of their issues.
“I might be wearing a wig and a fat suit when we go back.”
Early last month, Colson’s character finally reappeared in Corrie after months of absence – and fans couldn’t believe their eyes at his amazing transformation.
Social media was flooded with comments from viewers who praised his lockdown weight loss.
Taking to Twitter, one impressed fan penned: “You are a true inspiration Colson. To think that somebody could put their mind to losing ten stone in a matter of months is incredible.”
While a second gushed: “What an amazing young man you are. You should be so proud of yourself Colson.”
