Coronation Street star Colson Smith has devoted himself to getting in shape during the lockdown, leaving his fans awestruck by his transformation.
The 21-year-old, who plays Craig Tinker on Corrie, shared yet another fit snap with his followers over Instagram this week, showcasing his svelte new physique.
Posing in a matching grey tracksuit, the soap star captured a selfie in front of a full-length mirror.
In his caption, he added the lyrics “Konvict music” from the Akon hit I Wanna Love You.
The photo comes weeks after the flame-haired actor revealed he had taken up running during the quarantine period, pounding the pavement in a bid to get in shape.

The young copper was left breathless when he tried to chase a criminal down the road, eventually resolving to lose weight for the sake of his job.
Since the beginning of the year, Colson has been hitting the gym, later taking his workouts to the streets when the lockdown restrictions came into place.
Speaking about his new fitness regime in an interview with Lorraine Kelly last month, Colson explained: “It’s all about keeping motivated, doing the right thing, trying to achieve something every day – that’s kind of what I’ve said to myself.

“Making sure no day goes as a waste.
“In terms of the gym, I’ve kind of kept in touch with the gym I’ve been going to in Manchester because they’re putting on lots of training programmes on their app.
“I’ve done the odd Joe Wicks PE, and then it’s just making the most out of the situation.”
Colson finished: “I’ve been in the garden, I was doing a circuit the other day and I started getting chased by a wasp! It’s just making the most of the situation.”
