Coronation Street’s Colson Smith reveals incredible 21st birthday present from co-star Sally Ann Matthews

How thoughtful

Actor Colson Smith, who stars in Coronation Street, has revealed an incredible 21st birthday present given to him by his co-star Sally Ann Matthews.

Colson, who plays Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, posted a picture of a framed photo with a Mamma Mia poster in it and a CD with the same image on the case.

However, the poster has been edited to say ‘Colson’s 21st!’ and his co-stars’ faces have been super-imposed over the main characters.

On the edited poster you can see Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt, Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster, Alan Halsall who plays Tyrone Dobbs, Sally Ann Matthews, who plays Jenny Connor, and Colson.

Also featured are Jack P. Shepherd, who plays David Platt, Julia Goulding who plays Shona Ramsey and Ben Price, who plays Nick Tilsley.

Colson captioned the post: “It’s official. @sallyannmatthews wins at 21st Birthday presents!!”

Co-stars rushed to comment on the picture.

Sally wrote: “Don’t forget to invite me round! I bagsy defying gravity x.”

Brooke said: “Omg I love this!”

Lucy commented: “OMG hahahaahahah.”

Julia added: “This is AMAZING!”

Colson recently shared an adorable childhood throwback picture to celebrate his special birthday.

Earlier this year, Colson announced on podcast Sofa Cinema Club that he was now living with Nick Tilsley actor Ben Price. Colson had previously lived with Jack.

Last year, Neil Clifton’s daughter Kayla began working at Speed Daal in order to get closer to Bethany.

Neil was a friend of Nathan Curtis, who groomed Bethany and had his friends sleep with her for money. He was also a policeman who worked with Craig.

The corrupt police officer went to jail for his crimes, but his daughter believed he was innocent. Kayla used Craig in order to get information on Bethany.
Kayla was devastated when Craig played her a recording of Neil confessing and disowned her father before leaving.
