Coronation Street’s Colson Smith admits struggle after leaving Celebrity Big Brother
CORONATION Street actor Colson Smith has admitted what he’s struggling to get back into since being in Celebrity Big Brother.
The 25-year-old has returned to his fitness regime after Friday night’s final – but is finding it tough.
“My legs aren’t impressed with me for having three weeks off…”, said Colson after doing a 6km run.
The next day he headed back to the gym and posed for a mirror selfie close to the weights.
However, appearing to still be struggling to snap back into his typical routine.
He admitted: “This is harder than it used to be.”
Colson – who plays Craig Tinker in the ITV soap – is preparing to return to the cobbles after his month-long break.
He said he’ll be back sooner than fans think after writers worked it so he would only be gone for four episodes.
Colson said: “The story team were like, ‘we’ll make this work for Colson because we want him to have the experience’.”
However, the 25-year-old was so worried about things potentially going wrong while in the famous House that he hatched a plot about getting back onto the Corrie set in Manchester.
He told The Sun: “I did joke when I left Corrie, I was like, ‘I’m leaving my car here, it’d be really awkward if I’m not allowed to come back and collect it!’
“But no, I kind of trust myself as a person and back myself that I’m not gonna get into those situations.
“I feel like as well, the aspects of Big Brother and being in the house is very similar to the green room at work.”
