The Craig Tinker has ditched the the UK for his own I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here appearance
Coronation Street star Colson Smith has prompted a demand from one his colleagues as he ditched the UK for his own I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here appearance.
The actor, known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, teased fans over the weekend as he cheekily revealed he was heading to Australia. He shared a video to his Instagram page singing along to ‘Down Under’ by Australian band Men at Work.
Fans rushed to the comments as he captioned the video, “Any guesses where I might be off?” But Corrie co-star Tony Maudsley quickly gave it away as the George Shuttleworth actor replied: “Nick is a koala please, Cols. Always wanted one of them. Have a blast.”
He’s since been seen close to the I’m A Celeb jungle, making nightly appearances on the live spin-off show, I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked, alongside show hosts Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers.
Sharing a fresh update, Colson posted a photo of himself to Instagram as he posed next to one of the screens showing the programme’s logo, while sporting a khaki green outfit featuring a t-shirt and patterned trousers, and said “BEST JOB EVER.”
Colson’s Corrie co-star Lucy Fallon was quick to respond, with the Bethany Platt actress writing in the comments: “Get him in there!” Izzy Armstrong star Cherylee Houston replied: “You’ll be brilliant at this!!” while friend and former soap co-star Brooke Vincent said: “Outfit!!!!!!!!! V fitting.”
And when Coslon shared another update, captioned “Unpacked Day 2” in which he could be seen posing next to an iconic red telephone box, he was flooded with compliments.
