Celebrity Big Brother viewers were left flocking to social media as there was a detail about Colson Smith they 'couldn't believe'. The actor was revealed as one of the famous faces taking part in the reality show as he swapped the cobbles for the iconic house.
Colson, who is famed for playing Craig Tinker in Coronation Street, headed into the camera-rigged house during the launch show on Monday night (March 4) alongside the likes of Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin, broadcaster and author Fern Britton and former The X Factor judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne.
Actor Bradley Riches, Ibiza Weekender star David Potts, YouTuber and presenter Zeze Millz, The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon, Musical theatre actress Marisha Wallace, the uncle of Kate Middleton Gary Goldsmith, Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and entrepreneur Levi Roots complete the line-up.

As he was revealed as one of the celebrity housemates, Colson said it was 'madness' that he was involved as he revealed he was going to have to get over his social awkwardness to be on the show.
He also confirmed in a video shared to Corrie's social media channels that he'll be taking a three-week break from filming on the Salford-based set, meaning viewers may see PC Craig Tinker absent from the beat in a couple of months time as they film weeks in advance.
But it was actually Colson's age that caused a stir among Celebrity Big Brother viewers as he revealed that he's 25 after first appearing on the cobbles back in 2011 when he was just 13 years old.
