Celebrity Big Brother star Colson Smith’s Coronation Street co-stars have predicted that things will “hit the ground running” in the house as tensions rise.
Colson, 25 years old, who is best known for playing Craig Tinker on ITV soap, entered the CBB house at Monday night’s launch.
The star hosts a podcast with her Corrie co-stars Jack P Shepherd and Ben Smith, called On the couch – and the duo have been making predictions about the series.
“My theory is that once they’re done gossiping after a week, they won’t get any encouragement,” Jack said. ‘That’s when they’re going to make new stories.
“Then you’ll just talk about the situation that’s been happening in the house and the people and that’s when I think the arguments start.”
Big Brother star Colson Smith’s Coronation Street co-stars have predicted the house will see things “hit the ground running” as tensions rise.
Jack added: “If you look after the first week it will start straight away.”
“I think you’re right,” Ben agreed about the impending fight.
Ben was then asked if his co-star Colson was likely to bump into anyone in the house, to which he hinted at tensions with Louis Walsh.
“Good question, I don’t think he talks to Louis (Walsh) at all,” Ben said, to which Jack replied, “I thought he’d be over all that by now.”
“Do you think he walked in, Louis and Colson immediately noticed and sniffed that Louis thinks Colson has big ears?” Jack joked.
Colson’s friends then discussed what might test their friend in the house.
“It has to be food related,” Ben said. “I think that’s the only thing I’ve ever seen Colson lose his mind over.”
Colson left fans stunned by his real age after entering the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Colson, 25, best known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, entered the CBB house on Monday night at the launch.
Celebrity Big Brother fans can’t believe Coronation Street star Colson’s real age after it was revealed he was just 25 when he entered the house during Monday’s launch episode.
The soap star described being on the reality show as “crazy” and revealed that she was going to have to overcome her social awkwardness to be on the show.
However, the actor perhaps didn’t expect fans to be so impressed by his age, as viewers struggled to believe how young the star was.
Colson has starred in Corrie for the past 13 years, possibly leading viewers to believe he was much older than his mid-twenties.
Fans shared their disbelief on Twitter, with one writing: ‘Isn’t he 25? This is the darts boy again.’
Another exclaimed: ‘Can you believe Colson Smith is only 25 years old? He looks to be at least 40’.
While another added: ‘I’m really surprised Colson Smith is ONLY 25’ and another wrote: ‘HE’S 25!!!! MY GOD’.
One viewer joked: “Colson being 25 will be the most shocking thing about this series.”
Another couldn’t believe it when he commented: ‘COLSON SMITH IS ONLY 25???????’
The 25-year-old has starred in Corrie for the past 13 years, possibly leading viewers to believe he was much older than his mid-twenties.
The Coronation Street star, best known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, described being on the reality show as “crazy”.
Insiders have already predicted that Colson will go the distance as he is extremely “likeable and down to earth in real life”, just like his Corrie character.
A source told The Sun: ‘Big Brother producers have been in talks with Colson for months and it looks like a done deal.
“They are delighted that he is interested in entering the country’s most famous house because he is a big name already loved by millions of viewers and they were hell-bent on getting someone from Corrie as it is a great cross-promotion for ITV.
‘Colson’s character Craig is a big favorite among soap fans and is just as likable and sensible in real life, so don’t be surprised if he ends up winning it all. He has all the makings of a Celeb BB champion.”
