‘Coronation Street’ star Colson Smith wants to go on ‘Love Island’.
The 20-year-old actor – who plays Craig Tinker in the soap – is tempted to see if he can get on the ITV2 dating reality show and find romance in the villa.
Colson revealed his ambition as he appeared in his co-star Lucy Fallon’s Instagram Story as the pair got ready to attend the 2019 British Soap Awards at the weekend.
The two friends posed together as Colson showed off suit on the social media platform to say: "Soap Awards 2019, hello!"
Then making his declaration for the programme, he said: "’Love Island’, I’m coming for you!"
As Colson’s vow spread on social media he received a Twitter message from ‘This Is England’ star Thomas Turgoose about his ‘Love Island’ dream warning him that if he did get to the villa his red hair and fair skin may not cope with the scorching temperatures experienced on the Spanish Balearic Island of Majorca where the show if filmed.
Thomas’ tweet read: "Careful in the sun mate. You’ll come home like a lobster."
Colson then replied: "Layer up on factor 50."
The new series of ‘Love Island’ – which is hosted by Caroline Flack – starts on ITV2 at 9pm on Monday night (03.06.19).
