Coronation Street fans demand explanation for Craig Tinker's dramatic weight loss

Coronation Street fans have demanded that script writers explain Craig Tinker's sudden weight loss.

Colson Smith, 21, who plays the lovable character has shed an amazing amount of weight since filming seized back in March.

The actor has been updating fans on social media of how he's been getting into shape while in lockdown.

But many followers have been left curious as how soap bosses are going to explain the characters sudden change in appearance.

Over the weekend, the Craig Tinker actor took to Instagram to share his brand new figure as she showcased his rather amazing weight loss while on a lockdown walk.

Fans and followers alike were left in disbelief after the 21-year-old appeared to drop a substantial amount of weight in just a few short weeks.

Despite their joy for Colson's new found lifestyle, they are concerned with how his character is going to merge back into the soap with a brand new look since filming seized almost ten weeks ago.

While ITV are rationing out the episodes twice a week due to social distancing measures, viewers are lost as to how the screen writers will address the characters massive shift in appearance.

While another asked: "Can't wait to see how the writers explain this extreme hot change. Congratulations, you look so good!".

Meanwhile, others suggested that writers had already insinuated that Colson's character was on a journey to lose weight.
