Video: Colson Smith on why Craig's cop ambition bugs Beth

Colson Smith, who plays Craig Tinker in Coronation Street, was interviewed on ITV's Lorraine this morning.

Colson spoke about Craig Tinker's crime-fighting ambitions and that Craig wants to become a copper. However, Craig's career aspirations leave Beth a bit shifty and bothered.  But why and what for?

Colson says we'll find out what's upsetting Beth about Craig wanting to join the force, in the next couple of weeks.  He says there's a big secret to be revealed and there's a clip of a forthcoming episode in the video where Lisa George, who plays Beth, tries to persuade Craig not to join the police.

Colson also revealed that when he was born he was named Benjamin for one day until his parents found out that Colson means 'Son of Nicholas' and as his dad's called Nicholas, they decided to rename their new baby Colson instead.

He says he's loving his time at Corrie and interestingly called it "the best stepping stone" he could possibly have. Let's hope he does go on to do more, he's great to watch and deserves all of the best that comes his way.
