Colson, 24, shared snaps of his incredible trip away on Instagram – wowing his 179,000 fans.
The star posed on top of a car as he and his pals headed for a drive on the big day yesterday – smiling for the camera.
The actor could be seen donning a t-shirt and a bucket hat as he escaped the cold UK winter for some hot sun.
Colson accessorised with a pair of sunglasses as he took a snap on top of a truck after heading out for a cross-country drive.
He snapped at the countryside behind him, as his friends posed inside two vehicles following behind him.
“For the brief time I was leading the convoy…
Got stuck twice. Broke down once. Toe rope snapped once,” Colson captioned the snap.
A second saw him standing on top of one of the vehicles alongside his pals, as he joked they were taking part in their own “Top Gear Challenge”.
His friends and followers flooded the comments section to gush over his trip, wishing him a “superb trip”.
It comes after Colson wowed fans with his epic weight loss.
The Coronation Street actor has revealed a scrapped storyline helped to kickstart his incredible transformation.
Colson has been a familiar face in the cobbles since his debut in 2011 as police constable Craig Tinker – but he looks very different from his first ever episode.
The 24-year-old shed a jaw-dropping ten stone with lifestyle changes and a strict gym routine.
In 2020, Corrie fans may remember his on-screen alter ego trying to get in shape to go through police academy training.
However, the Covid-pandemic altered all plans made for Craig and soap bosses had to drop the storyline altogether.
“Obviously, at the time we did it, it was kind of in line with a storyline,” he told the Daily Star during this years ITV Palooza.
“But it was perfect, because I was away from the job with nothing to do, so I just took a bit of an investment in myself.”
The soap star implemented a series of changes with the help of a life coach, spending the Covid lockdowns focusing on his lifestyle overhaul.
Colson then admitted: “Yeah, now I don’t look back.”
