Colson Smith shows off incredible lockdown weight loss after sweaty workout

Colson Smith looked sensational as he showed off his slimmed-down frame after a sweaty workout.

The Coronation Street star, 22, appeared a shadow of his former self as he was papped leaving his gym in Manchester.

The actor – who plays Craig Tinker on the hit soap – used the months during lockdown to work on his fitness and is looking incredible following his transformation.

Colson looked super trim as he donned head to toe black for his latest workout, sporting a GymShark T-shirt paired with simple black sports trousers.

The star wore a look of determination as he walked away from his session with his headphones still in his ears.

The actor first showcased his impressive new look at a showbiz event in March before the lockdown was imposed.

He stepped out on the red carpet looking noticeably trimmer in a tight-fitting suit.

Colson’s weight loss journey kick started in December after losing the drastic amount of weight from food poisoning.

His weight loss was further spurred on by his role in Corrie, as his police officer character Craig had to chase shoplifters on the soap, and so he took up running.

He revealed that he lost around ten stone when Corrie stopped filming during the  coronavirus  lockdown.

He previously joked that he may have to wear a fat suit when he returns to work.

The soap star told The Sun: “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. Now we go to a purple shampoo, which almost makes it a platinum sort of colour, which basically takes the ginger pigment out.

“So the yellow-ness will go, and I will have a head of blonde hair, which I technically do now.”
