Coronation Street: Colson Smith weight loss
Just a few days ago, Colson shared a selfie in his dressing room saying how scary it is he would be turning 22.
The actor has been keeping fans up to date on his weight loss journey over the last several months.
Back in May it was revealed he had lost nearly 10 stone. He shared videos from home training showing him swinging kettlebells, hurling a weighted ball at the floor and doing dumbbell curls.
Last week, his alter ego Craig returned to screen after a couple of months off-screen.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic and episodes being cut, some characters haven’t been seen on-screen for a while.
However when Craig returned, viewers were shocked by how different he looked.
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm on ITV.
