Coronation Street star Colson Smith showed off the results of his recent hair transplant.

The Coronation Street star, best known for playing Craig Tinker, revealed he first noticed ‘hair loss at the age 22.’

Colson, now 25, posed for smiley Instagram photos while holding a’Mr Hair Transplant’ mug and flashing a thumbs up.

‘Slightly different to my usual hairstyle…,’ he said

‘On Monday I had a hair transplant. A transplant has been on my agenda since I first noticed my hair loss at the age 22.

‘Losing my hair at such a young age has been a tough thing for me to come to terms with, I instantly feel SOOO much better and more confident that I’ve taken a step to getting back my luscious strawberry blonde locks.’

He concluded that there’ll be ‘no more comb overs and baseball caps’ and said he was looking forward to a ‘future with a cracking head of hair’.

Colson’s post was met with love from his followers, with @lizziephil18 replying: ‘Good for you and for helping others by being open about it .
You are an absolute inspiration and should be hugely proud of yourself.’

Fellow Coronation Street actress Tina O’Brien, who plays Sarah Platt, added: ‘Go in Colson! Good to see you so happy.’

The actor, who has been on Corrie since 2011, recently came in 3rd place behind Strictly star Nikita Kuzmin and Ibiza Weekender rep David Potts in ITV’s revival of Celebrity Big Brother.

During his time on the show he came to blows with Reggae Reggae Sauce inventor Levi Roots who branded his behaviour as ‘boring’.

But there’s no rest for the wicked – despite the live final airing on Friday evening, he’s had only the weekend to recover before donning his police uniform again.

In a video posted to Coronation Street’s Instagram story, Colson thanked fans for their support and said he was ‘buzzing’ to be back.

He also posted a series of stories to his own socials, including pictures of his scripts, commenting on the Mancunian rain
