Coronation Street’s Colson Smith STUNS fans with his weight loss transformation

Colson Smith stunned fans when he unveiled his staggering weight loss transformation on Instagram on Friday. 

The Coronation Street star, 21, who plays Craig Tinker on the soap, overhauled his fitness regime last year after a nasty bout of food poisoning made him shed one-and-a-half stone. 

Colson’s followers rushed to congratulate him on his efforts in the comments, with one fan telling the star he is ‘giving Adele a run for her money’.

Adele wowed fans earlier this week when she uploaded an Instagram after shedding seven stone. 

In the photo, a sweaty Colson beamed for the camera in sports gear after going on a run. 

He captioned the photo: ‘Bank Holiday run done. Feet up & some family time while staying at home now! Have a good un folks.(sic)’.

Looking trim: Colson previously revealed he lost one and a half stone in December after he got food poisoning while holidaying in Thailand

Colson previously revealed he lost one and a half stone in December after he got food poisoning while holidaying in Thailand.  

Speaking on his podcast Sofa Cinema Club – which he hosts with co-stars Jack P Shepherd and Ben Price, Colson said: ‘I was in Ko Lanta. I was sat on the beach and the waiter came over and was like, “What would you like?” And I said, “I’ll have the prawns to start please.”

‘I had avoided seafood [on Ben’s advice] but I was sat on the beach and I was like, “How can you not have seafood on the beach?”

‘Well, anyway. I’m not doing that again. I’ve lost about a stone and a half.’

Colson said he was only able to eat to a banana and three slices of toast in the week after eating the dodgy prawns. 

Since then, the star has littered his Instagram with pictures of him in sports gear.
