Coronation Street star Colson Smith made an admission about life post-Celebrity Big Brother as he settles back into his normal routine.

It's been almost a week since the actor finished in third place in the reboot of the ITV reality show behind runner-up Nikita Kuzmin and eventual winner David Potts.

But Colson didn't have much time between leaving the famous house and heading back to Weatherfield as he returned to work on Monday (March 25).

Luckily, however, he admitted it wasn't too difficult a shift. As he returned to Corrie's Salford-based set, Colson appeared via video link from the Rovers Return on Good Morning Britain and told hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley how his time since leaving the CBB house played out and how he didn't have the toughest day at work ahead.
