The actor, who plays Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, shared a behind the scenes selfie from his dressing room to his Instagram Story.

Colson will be celebrating his 22nd birthday on Thursday (August 13).
During lockdown he has been working on his health and fitness and sharing his journey on Instagram.
Coronation Street: Colson weight loss journey
Back in May, it was revealed Colson had lost nearly 10 stone.
In footage shared on his Instagram stories back in June, the actor could be seen training at home.
He was swinging kettlebells, hurling a weighted ball at the floor and doing dumbbell curls.
Coronation Street was unable to film for three months during the coronavirus lockdown, meaning the cast and crew were off work.

Friday night’s episode (August 7) was the first time Craig was seen on screen in months and viewers were stunned by his transformation.
Not only did Craig look much slimmer from the last time he was on screen, but his usual fame-red hair was a lot lighter.
Just last week, Colson celebrated nine years playing Craig by sharing a picture from his early days on the soap.
His Corrie co-star Georgia Taylor joked about fans saying he hadn’t changed a bit.
She tweeted: “Waiting for the first person to tweet ‘you haven’t changed a bit.'”
