Coronation Street star Colson Smith looked incredible after his jaw-dropping ten-stone weight-loss.
The 22-year-old Corrie actor has been working hard to shed the pounds – and his hard work has paid off if the latest snap of him is anything to go by.
Carefree Colson enjoyed a stroll in London and looked unrecognisable after shedding the pounds thanks to an intense new fitness and healthy eating regime.
Colson is currently taking a three-month break the hit ITV soap, where he plays the loveable character Craig Tinker.
Amazingly, he took time away from the popular Weatherfield cobbles to help his sister Hannah, who is a vet, seeing him sheer sheep during lambing season on her farm.
“April is lambing season and I’ve got the call up – I’m in for lambing season,” revealed Colson on the Sofa Cinema Club podcast. “I’m a top farmer. I can drive the tractor, I’m good at that kind of stuff.
“I’m off work for the whole of April, so I’m going to be there lambing. It’s going to be great.
“It’s been full-on. I finished work and I got a call saying, “you need to come and help out, we need some help on the farm”.
Colson was spotted walking in black shorts and a black T-shirt as he embraced the sunshine over the weekend.
The actor had a rucksack on his back and chatted on his mobile phone as he showcased his new look.

His incredible transformation comes after he was desperate to establish a much healthier lifestyle.
And in a poignant post to his 162k Instagram followers, the popular actor posted a photo of himself looking sweaty in the gym and penned: “We’re nearly there,” accompanied by an hour glass emoji and a crossed-fingers emoji.
He added: “Lockdowns have taught me the less of not taking the simple things for granted.”
The TV star’s snap was liked more than 3000 times as fans applauded him for his incredible weight journey.
Colson even joked that he might even have to wear a fat suit when he returned to the cobbles, fearing fans might not recognise him after losing so much weight.

“We are in direct continuity, but I’ve almost lost about ten stone since we left work so I’m not sure that [my hair] is going to be the biggest of their issues,” he said.
“I might be wearing a wig and a fat suit when we go back. Now we go to a purple shampoo, which almost makes it a platinum sort of colour, which basically takes the ginger pigment out.
“So the yellow-ness will go, and I will have a head of blonde hair, which I technically do now.”
