Coronation Street star Colson Smith looked unrecognisable as he shared an update about his time on the cobbles. The actor is best known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, having joined when he was 12 years old.
He previously shared how he only initially came in for just two episodes with his mum, Beth Tinker, played by Lisa George. But "the audience reacted to them and they were brought back," the soap star told the Metro.
Outside of Weatherfield, Colson has appeared as Adam Concus in several short films, the first being Platform2C in 2011, followed by Hollows Wood and Jailhouse Dog in 2014 when already on-screens as Craig.
