Coronation Street’s Colson Smith looks slimmer than ever after epic weight loss

Soap star Colson Smith has left fans amazed by his stunning weight loss as he looks slimmer than ever.

The Coronation Street actor, 21, plays comedic police officer Craig Tinker on the Manchester-based ITV soap.

However, in recent months, fans have been astounded by his physical transformation as he shed the pounds in the name of a healthier lifestyle.

In a recent Instagram post taken on a river in Glaisdale, North Yorkshire, Colson was seen steering a ragdoll boat and looking slimmer than ever with his svelte physique in a navy t-shirt, navy short shorts, white socks, and beige trainers.

Colson captioned the sunny image: “My parents let me drive for all of 6 seconds until we started heading diagonally down the Canal. #TheRagDoll”.

Naturally, Colson’s fans flooded the comments section to note his much slimmer frame and congratulate his hard work over the last year.

One follower commented: “Amazing weight loss man… I know what it takes! Weird that no-one in Corrie has commented on your character’s weight loss though!”

A different fan of Colson’s noted: “Does anyone else think colson and ben price (Nick) are morphing into one person now?! You look incredible man, well done”.

Meanwhile, another avid Colson admirer left one rather NSFW post: “You look amazing, you inspire the rest of us who are struggling with weight issues to keep up with exercise and not to give up . Very proud of your achievements. And you looking very sh**gable too”.

However, another of Colson’s followers wrote: “Omg your disappearing. Welldone on the weight loss but please dont lose anymore your perfect as you are”.

Finally, one of the actor’s fans concluded: Wow you look great now you’ve lost weight @colsonjsmith. Keep up the good work as it suits you”.

Colson first joined Coronation Street in 2011 when he was introduced as the son of Beth Tinker (Lisa George), Craig.

His storylines have included his joining his character’s struggles with OCD, his friendship with Bethany Platt, and his joining the police force.

Coronation Street airs on ITV on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
