Coronation Street fans were left with their jaws on the floor on Friday as Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) returned to our screens.
The Corrie favourite finally returned to the show last night for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic postponed filming earlier this year.
Colson, who hasn’t been our screens for a while, definitely looked a little different compared to the last time he appeared on the ITV soap.
Resulting in a major transformation, Colson kept himself busy during lockdown with his new fitness and weight loss regime.
The star has been updating fans across the weeks with his progress and showing off his new look on his social media pages.

While his dramatic weight loss transformation wasn’t addressed on the show, police officer Craig looked completely different.
He could be seen in scenes on the phone to Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) following the mysterious disappearance of Elaine Jones.
The copper told Alya how Geoff Metcalfe (Ian Bartholomew) had been questioned about the vanishing act, but nothing had come from it.

As Alya appeared deflated, amid her grandmother Yasmeen’s own hell at the hands of husband Geoff, Craig promised to update her with any news he could.
Corrie fans were a little distracted from the scenes as Colson’s weight loss was unveiled on camera.
Noticing Craig’s return, viewers rushed to Twitter to discuss how different the character looked.
Taking to Twitter, one fan gushed: “Craig’s looking amazing post weight loss.”

Another added: “Know this is late but how much weight has Craig lost?!?!?! Impressive!!”
While a third penned: “Can Craig please send those weight loss tips my way.”
Praising his progress, a fourth said: “Actually stunned how much weight Craig as lost in Corrie and how well he looks.”
