Up Next, let's take a look at what's coming up in the world of soaps. But first, let's go back to the previous page, where we learned about Coronation Street actor Colson Smith's personal struggle with food bingeing. In a recent TikTok video, the 26-year-old revealed how he hit a turning point and decided to get fit.
Colson, who has been playing the role of Craig Tinker on the popular soap since 2011, opened up about his journey towards a healthier lifestyle. He shared how he was unaware of his weight, which had reached 24 stone before Covid hit. He also revealed his unhealthy relationship with food, where he would go through cycles of restrictive eating and bingeing, followed by feelings of guilt and self-punishment.
This cycle continued for almost a year until Colson saw an opportunity to address the issue through an important storyline on Coronation Street. He pitched the idea to the show's bosses, hoping to bring awareness to the topic of eating disorders and OCD. Despite facing some challenges due to the pandemic, Colson was determined to tell this story and raise awareness.
In addition to his struggles with food, Colson also opened up about undergoing a hair transplant at the young age of 22. He shared his journey on social media, expressing how much more confident he felt after taking this step.
But Colson's personal struggles have not affected his career on Coronation Street. He recently appeared on the revival of Celebrity Big Brother and came in third place. However, things are not going smoothly for his character Craig Tinker on the show. In a recent storyline, Craig found himself in trouble with his colleague DC Kit Green after investigating a car theft.
Meanwhile, on the personal front, Colson is also part of a WhatsApp Soaps community with 10,000 fans.
