Colson Smith, known for his role as Craig Tinker on ITV's Coronation Street, had a secret plan in place to ensure his return to the show after his stint on Celebrity Big Brother.

Building Trust in Uncertain Times

Fearing the worst, Smith shared, "I did joke when I left Corrie, I was like, 'I’m leaving my car here, it’d be really awkward if I’m not allowed to come back and collect it!'"

Operation Canada Sunset

Smith even went as far as creating a group chat with key individuals from the show and humorously named it "Operation Canada Sunset" to stay connected and prepared for any scenario.

A Welcoming Return

Corrie bosses made arrangements for Smith's temporary absence, ensuring he would only be gone for a few episodes and could seamlessly reintegrate into the show upon his return.

Dedication to the Show

Expressing his commitment to Coronation Street, Smith emphasized his gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the show and his eagerness to continue contributing to its success.
