Coronation Street star Colson Smith has been flooded with support as he joked how he'd powered through 'man flu' to take on his latest challenge.

The actor, who is known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, has previously told how he found a love of running during lockdown and he hasn't stopped since and has more recently been taking on a few challenges along the way.

His latest over the weekend saw him ditch the cobbles for Cheshire as he took part in the Hale 10k, which was also ran by boxer Tommy Fury as he poked fun at a viral video of himself during a different 10k at the start of the year.

Confirming his time and the event, the smiling soap star captioned the post: "A week deep into my man flu battle, but I couldn’t miss an opportunity for a medal, 39:26." And his fans and followers were impressed. @lockdown_weightloss_backtofit said: "Wow amazing time my 5k is about that." @claireutb commented: "Amazing effort well done." @katie_burton11 wrote: "Aww well done Colson." @jane_sandi replied: "That’s brilliant well done." @mtb_wills posted: "Well done @colsonjsmith hope you feel better soon." @debbieriley76 shared: "That’s an insane time!" @hannahprentice10 typed: "Amazing well done Colson." @running_with_nicnac noted: "Wow.
