He also addressed the change that he has made to his fair red hair as well as revealing he has taken up running.
The 21-year-old said he was worried there would be a continuity issue when he returned to the ITV soap.
Colson said: "We are in direct continuity, but I've almost lost about 10 stone since we left work so I'm not sure that (my hair) is going to be the biggest of their issues.
"I might be wearing a wig and a fat suit when we go back."
