Coronation Street Blog: Corrie's Colson Smith slims down in lockdown

Colson Smith, who plays Craig Tinker in Coronation Street, has been busy during the lockdown. While some of us might have taken to comfort eating and sitting around in track suit bottoms for the last few weeks (no names), Colson's taken to running. And he's lost a heck of a lot of weight too, as the picture above which he posted to Instagram shows.

Not only that, but he's dyed his hair blonde! Although how long he'll be able to keep it that way remains to be seen. I wonder if he'll go back to his redheaded self when Corrie returns to filming?
