Colson Smith has been on Coronation Street for just over a decade and has undergone a huge transformation in that time.
The 23-year-old actor first joined the cast of the soap as Craig Tinker back in August 2011, with the teenager joining mum Beth on a date with Steve McDonald.
Originally only brought in for two episodes, the Tinkers proved popular with soap fans and were brought back full-time at the start of 2012 - reports Mirror Online.

Colson continued his education while acting in Corrie until 2016 and is now a full-time member of the cast.
Having joined the soap as a fresh-faced 12-year-old, he now looks completely different.
Craig has dramatically changed in front of viewers' eyes over the years, partly due to finding a new found love for running.
Posting on his Instagram earlier this month, he shared that he has now been running for a whole two years.
Writing to his fans and followers, he said: "Two years as a runner!
"10th January 2020 I went on my first run… 3086km’s later and I'm still loving every km.
"I’ve learned so much about myself while pounding the pavements and trails wherever I find myself.
"It’s always a good day to run."
Colson has recently released a documentary about his weight loss journey and the reasons why he decided to change his life.
Speaking in a previous interview he said: "I got myself into a really unhealthy position where, I say in the documentary, food was a self-harm to me.
“It was my comfort and I didn’t realise how much damage I was doing to myself with it. Now I’ve changed all of that without realising that I’ve changed.
“I respect myself. I had no respect for myself and now I do."
