Coronation Street star Colson Smith has told what show he can now 'never do' as he sets his sights on winning Celebrity Big Brother. The actor was among the celebrities heading into the iconic house when the series returned to screens on Monday (March 4).
ITV has revived the celebrity version of the reality show after the success of bringing back the civilian series back in October last year. It is the first time that Celebrity Big Brother has been aired since 2018 when it aired on Channel 5 and was won by former Corrie star Ryan Thomas.
But back to Colson and he said he was going to have to get over his social awkwardness to be on the show which also features X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, businessman and Dragons' Den alumni Levi Roots and broadcaster and author Fern Britton.

Now it's been revealed that he's keen to win the show after ruling out an appearance on Strictly Come Dancing following the success of his friend and former soap co-star Ellie Leach in the 2023 series.

He went on: "I can never do Strictly can I now Ellie's gone and won that! It would be mint to win Big Brother though. It'd just be a mint picture of Ellie with the glitterball and me stood there being the Big Brother winner. It'd be like Craig and Faye have done well for themselves."
But Corrie
