Coronation Street’s Colson Smith shares snap of rarely-seen sister as he celebrates her birthday

CORONATION Street star Colson Smith has shared a picture of his rarely-seen sister.

The 24-year-old took to Instagram to post the sweet snap.

Colson is best known for playing PC Craig Tinker on the ITV soap.

Since shooting to fame the soap star has tried to keep his family life out of the lime light.

However he recently gave an insight into just that after sharing a snap of him and his sister blowing out some candles on a cake at a restaurant.

Colson captioned the post: "Happy birthday sister," with a partying face and lion emoji.

One thing that Colson has loved sharing about on social media is his impressive 10 stone weight loss.

The actor decided to work on himself and completely overhauled his lifestyle during lockdown.

Colson showed off his impressive new look for the first time as he headed off to the TRIC Awards in London back in 2020.

Then in the coming months he continued to work hard and has since managed to lose 10 stone.

During an appearance on Loose Women last month, he revealed his motivation behind it.

Colson candidly addressed his changing appearance as he starred on the talk show with Corrie co-stars Ben Price and Jack P. Shepherd.

The actor, who previously said he was "too fat" to fit in clothes, said: "I was lucky with timing.

"Lockdown was the first time I didn't have a job and I thought, 'What's important to me?'

"I realised Colson is important to me.

"Running was one of the things I found and I literally ran with it.

"I love it. It's all I want to do."
