It's not always easy to keep a straight face while filming, as Coronation Street stars Ben Price and Colson Smith can attest. In a recent episode of their popular On The Sofa podcast, the duo, who play Nick Tilsley and Craig Tinker on the long-running soap, shared a hilarious on-set incident that left one of their castmates unable to work with them.
During the podcast, which they co-host with fellow Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd, Ben and Colson reminisced about a day on set when they were supposed to be quietly acting in the background of a wedding scene at the Rovers Return. However, they couldn't resist messing around and adding their own comedic touch to the scene. As Colson recalls, they were caught multiple times by the cameras as their laughter became contagious.
Their ad-libbing and playful banter eventually became too much for one cast member, who confronted them and asked them to stop fooling around. But Ben and Colson were having too much fun to stop, much to the dismay of their co-star.
Fans of the podcast and the soap have been eager to know who the mystery actor is, with social media abuzz with guesses and speculation. This incident only highlights the off-screen camaraderie between the Corrie cast, with Ben and Colson's close friendship being a huge part of their on-screen chemistry.
Ben has been a part of the Coronation Street family since 2009, while Colson joined in 2011. They have become fan favorites for their compelling storylines and their ability to bring humor to even the most serious scenes. Along with Jack P. Shepherd, they launched their podcast in 2022 and have since become known for their humorous and candid discussions about their lives on and off the cobbles.
While they love their jobs, it's clear that their sense of humor may occasionally clash with the more serious tone on set. But as many fans agree, Coronation Street is at its best when the cast is enjoying themselves.
As for the identity of the co-star who "couldn't work with them," Ben and Colson have remained tight-lipped. But their playful retelling of the incident only adds to the charm of their podcast and their dynamic on the show. Fans will just have to continue guessing and enjoying the hilarious antics of these beloved Coronation Street stars.
