Celebrity Big Brother 2024 viewers was taken aback when they saw the age of Colson Smith, who plays Craig Tinker on Coronation Street and talks about needing to mature quickly.

Colson Smith, star of Celebrity Big Brother, shocked a number of ITV fans last week by disclosing his age in a conversation about his acting career.

Actor Craig Tinker of Coronation Street became upset after housemate Levi Roots called him “boring” on a recent episode. Colson discussed on Thursday night how his early exposure to the spotlight forced him to mature quickly.

At the age of thirteen, Colson landed the role of Craig on the ITV serial opera in 2011. Colson joked that he might have been dull because he talked about maturing faster than other people his age.

However, a few viewers appeared shocked when Colson disclosed that he was 25 years old and had to do a double take. Viewers who were unaware that Colson was 25 years old and thought he was older than this questioned what they had heard, taking to X.

A watcher questioned, “COULSONS 25??” “It’s unbelievable that Colson is only 25,” someone else commented. “Did not realise colson was 25,” remarked a third fan, and “Colson is 25?!!!” exclaimed a fourth.

“I can’t believe Colson is only 25 years old. He reminds me of Luke Littler from #CBBUK,” commented one fan, while “I just found out Colson is 25?!!!!” was written by another. Colson and Levi had a falling out on the show, and both actors nominated each other.

Regarding his vote, Colson gave the following explanation: “Levi stated in a task yesterday that he would have thought I was the most dull housemate until we had the talent show. which, in my opinion, has simply caused me to doubt my identity and my character.

When Levi’s turn came to make the nomination, he remarked, “I think Colson misinterpreted why I called him uninteresting. He interpreted it too literally. I told Colson I was sorry. Additionally, I had tried to mend our relationship, but regrettably, I realized that he was not at all accepting of my apology.

“I feel that his unwillingness to accept my apology can be the only reason why I’m nominating him,” he went on. Other competitors also nominated Levi for eviction, despite Colson accepting the nomination with little emotion.
