Coronation Street star Colson Smith’s podcast future with co-stars revealed after he’s axed from soap
COLSON Smith’s future on his podcast series with his fellow Coronation Street stars is sealed after his axe.
The 26-year-old left fans devastated earlier this week when he was ousted from his role as policeman Craig Tinker after 14 years.
While Lucy Fallon admitted she ‘couldn’t stop crying’ over the axe, fans’ attention turned to his podcast with his Coronation Street co-stars.
Colson has starred on the weekly series, called On the Sofa, alongside Jack P. Shepherd and Ben Price since its launch in 2019.
Sources have told The Sun his axe from the soap won’t affect the series and the trio plan to keep recording episodes.
They said: “Colson is gutted about leaving Coronation Street but looking forward to the future and what opportunities arise.
“He’s best pals with Jack and Ben, especially since they’ve lived together before and they all love making the show, it’s been a big hit with fans.
“They’ve no plans at the moment to bring it to an end, though after Colson finishes on Corrie there may be less chat around the show for his sake.”
On the Sofa – which has 392 episodes to date – was previously based on films before the lads broadened the format.
They’ve regularly dished backstage gossip from Corrie and recently revealed how Jack, 36, turned down the offer of moving into his former co-star Helen Worth’s esteemed dressing room after she left.
Colson joined the Weatherfield cobbles as a child actor, playing the son of Beth Tinker, previously portrayed by Lisa George until her departure last year.
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed how Charlotte Jordan has quit the soap — the fifth star to leave in just a month.
The 28-year-old, who plays Rovers barmaid Daisy Midgeley, will bow out later this year.
She said last night: “My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish.
“After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.”
Coronation Street's 2024 shock exits
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.
After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.
Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.
Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.
Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.
Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.
The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.
It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.
Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.
Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.

Love Island All Stars reunion between Marcel & Gabby will be a ‘disaster’ admits Liberty Poole – after ex Jake quit show
LOVE Island star Liberty Poole has revealed that Marcel Somerville and Gabby Allen’s reunion could end in “disaster”.
TV favourite Liberty, 25, reunited with her ex Jake Cornish on last year’s All Stars, but he ended up quitting the show after three days.
Marcel and Gabby first met on the second series of the ITV2 dating show back in 2017, finishing as runners-up.
But fiery romance burned out for good in 2018 after fitness expert Gabby accused the Blazin’ Squad star of cheating on holiday.
The pair are now set to come face-to-face seven years on from their split as they return to the villa to find love a second time.
But Liberty – who dated Jake on the series seven in 2021, but split a week before the final – has insisted that the reunion could go badly wrong.
Liberty and Jake both returned for All Stars last year, but Jake shocked fans when he decided to leave the process.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Liberty said: “Gaby and Marcel could be a very similar situation to me and Jake.
“They’re both exes and I think they could either clear the page on the first day, fallout again or… shock try again.”
Marcel, who is still married to wife Rebecca Vieira, has come under fire for doing the show as a married man.
Speaking about Marcel’s situation, Liberty said: “I feel like when you’re older, you know what you want. Life gives you more life lessons and you know what you like and don’t like.
“He might be more decisive.
“It is Love Island and so we’ll probably see a few triangles. But at that time, you know what you like, you know what you stand for and you’ve got boundaries. I think we’re going to see a lot of straight-talking this series.”
Liberty went on: “They’ve got a lot of the OGs from the first series’, those are the people that made Love Island.
“I’m so excited to see them get another chance.
“I’m a fan of Gaby, I love her fitness and motivational videos. I really want her to find The One this time – I know she had a bit of a tricky situation, so I’m rooting for her.”
It comes after Love Island fans were left fuming as Marcel and Gaby prepare to reunite.
A source said at the time: “They had a row one night so Gabby went back to their hotel room to sleep.
“Marcel started chatting to another woman at the bar where they kissed in full view of other guests.
“He insisted that he was staying there for promotional purposes and that it was over between him and Gabby.”
Since then Marcel married Rebecca Vieira and had a son called Roman.
However, the relationship became strained early last year after Rebecca cheated with a US pop star.
Days later she admitted to her infidelity and issued a grovelling apology.
But it is now evident they were unable to work through their issues.
The former couple still aren’t divorced and some viewers believe it’s all a bit soon for Marcel to be looking for love again.
Meanwhile, Gabby had an ill-fated romance with Rak-Su star Myles Stephenson that was rocked once again by cheating accusations.
Jake’s shock exit
Jake and Liberty met during series seven of the dating show, but their romance came crashing down just days before the final.
At the same time, Liberty was making it clear she had no interest in Jake as she admitted having the hots for Mitch Taylor.
Jake and Liberty were amongst the first to enter the villa – leaving Liberty gobsmacked, and Jake shaking his head, saying “what are the chances?”.
He told the group there “was never any bad blood” between him and Liberty and added that there’s “probably a chat to be done”.
But after just three days, Jake sensationally quit All Stars.
From baboon lip jibes to skinny-shaming taunts… How feisty stars have clapped back at vile trolls to come out on top
THEY have fame, fortune, beauty and talent… But while some of our favourite stars seemingly have the world at their feet, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
Living in the spotlight can have its drawbacks, and in this day and age, the Internet and social media means our favourite stars are never far away from cruel taunts and criticism too.
And while some – like supermodel Gisele Bündchen, who was ridiculously once told her nose was too big to grace a magazine cover – make millions proudly flaunting the physical ‘quirks’ they were once teased for, they’re still easy targets for trolls.
It must be hard, facing a constant barrage of criticism, and understandably sometimes they inevitably crack, and want to retaliate.
Here, we take a closer look at how some famous figures have recently opted to fight back…
‘You dizzy f***!’
Singer and lingerie designer Rihanna, 36, has never been known to be the shy, retiring type and doesn’t suffer fools gladly, so it takes someone incredibly brave – or stupid – to take her on.
So when the mum-of-two – who has been in a relationship with A$AP Rocky since 2020 – posted an upbeat video on Instagram to celebrate the new year and was on the receiving end of a rude comment, she was bound to respond.
One follower bluntly commented: “We want an album forehead,” referring to the fact the last time she released record Anti was 2016.
“You ain’t cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy f***!” the star replied in the comments, delighting plenty of other fans.
‘Keep it to your f****** self’
Kate Beckinsale, 51, has been forced to hit back at people on multiple occasions after they’ve commented on her weight.
“It’s not a criticism, but I think you’ve lost too much weight lately,” one follower commented recently.
Clearly sick and tired of unsolicited remarks, the Pearl Harbour star retorted: “Next time you feel like commenting on someone’s body, I suggest you keep it to your f****** self.”
Meanwhile another wrote: “She’s very thin. Is everything OK at home?”, to which the actress replied: “Everything is absolutely great. f*** off.”
Baboon a*** abuse
Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan, 34, is known for her sexy, sultry selfies and glamorous outfits and has always been open when it comes to discussing plastic surgery and tweakments.
The mum-of-three has grown up in the spotlight, so her transformation from child soap star to mother, model and TV personality has been very public.
Which sadly has meant she’s got used to being at the receiving end of a regular barrage of abusive comments too.
Just last month Helen took to Instagram to post a video of herself getting ready for a night out, and was met by a stream of remarks about her lips.
She shared some of the hateful comments she had received, including one who said her lips looked like a ‘baboon’s a***.
She added: “I never understand why people can be so mean… it doesn’t actually matter how someone looks if you’ve got a good heart you’re beautiful anyway.
“I have never commented anything mean on anyone’s feed…. Especially as a mum I teach my children to be kind.
“My lips aren’t even that big… it’s an angle… it’s just a makeup video.”
‘Quack, quack’
Helen’s not the only one to come under scrutiny for her personal decision to have lip fillers.
Kerry Katona, 44, opted to hit back with humour at trolls as she was compared to a duck in a comment on a video showing the mum-of-five having lip injections.
But while the Atomic Kitten star was delighted at her treatment, the first commenter said: “Why do women feel the need to do this …..”
Kerry wrote back: “I think you should do whatever makes you happy.”
Another person cruelly wrote: “It’s not natural when they look like a duck”, to which Kerry simply responded: “Quack, quack.”
‘I’m 29 you p****’
Love Island host Maya Jama, now 30, has been hitting headlines for her new romance with Man City footballing ace Ruben Dias, so she’s used to all eyes on her.
But it’s not all positive, and she’s been forced to defend herself multiple times from rude remarks.
Just last year after she uploaded a video of herself dancing in a glam black bodycon outfit, one user commented on X/Twitter: “Pushing 40 and dancing like this for Tiktok.”
Not one to mince her words, Maya replied: “I’m 29 you p****.”
Previously explaining her outlook on trolling, Maya wrote: “For anyone who deals with mean comments from strangers online – on the rare occasion I do reply.
“…no one has ever been rude to me in person…hopefully that reminds you anyone who spends their time hurling abuse at strangers on the internet is usually a p**** projecting, knowing that you should feel sorry for them not angry at them.”
What is trolling?
Online expert and co-founder of YEO Messaging, Sarah Bone, explains what trolling is, and how to deal with it if you fall victim...
She says: “Trolling is when someone intentionally posts inflammatory, offensive, or provocative content online to upset or provoke a reaction from others.
“It’s a form of online harassment that can be deeply damaging.
“The impact of trolling on victims can be significant.
“It can affect mental health, leading to anxiety, stress, and even depression.
“It can also undermine confidence, making people reluctant to engage online or share their opinions.”
If you find yourself a victim of trolling, here are Sarah’s top tips:
- Don’t Engage: Trolls thrive on reactions. Resist the urge to respond or retaliate.
- Block and Report: Most platforms have tools to block users and report abusive content. Use them.
- Take Screenshots: Document the harassment in case you need to escalate it to authorities or seek legal advice.
- Talk About It: Share your experience with trusted friends or family. You don’t have to face it alone.
- Protect Your Space: Adjust your privacy settings to control who can see and interact with your posts.
Body positive message
Christina Aguilera, 44, has grown up in the glare of the spotlight, so has had to develop pretty thick skin over the decades.
In an Instagram post shared recently reflecting on 2024, the ‘Fighter’ singer shared a video montage which included body-shaming social media posts from trolls, including one labelling her a ‘bobblehead’ and another calling her ‘fake’.
Taking the high road, she chose to use the negativity to promote her own positive message, writing in the caption: “Everyone will judge you. No matter WHAT you do.
“Acceptance comes with accepting yourself first.
“This year, doing something a little different. This is a reminder to everyone that you are your OWN STORYTELLER in your OWN LIFE.”
‘Sexually aggressive’ remarks
She landed a starring role in the much-coveted Disney series Rivals, but even that wasn’t enough to silence the haters, with Emily Atack, 35, forced to hit back at online trolls after negative attention from viewers.
Emily, who played Sarah Stratton in the series and stripped off for the part, revealed that she received a lot of ‘sexually aggressive’ comments and criticism.
She said: “I can’t control people’s sexually aggressive behaviour.
“I should be able to do a scene like this and not receive negative attention. The two should not go hand in hand.”
She added: “A woman said to me on Instagram the other day, ‘Pick a lane. You can’t play a racy role like that and get your clothes off and expect not to get messages. Why would you take that role?’
“I wanted to say to her, ‘Are you telling me essentially to quit my job?’ Why should I?”
Kylie Jenner’s face & body evolution: From ‘quiet’ Kardashian to ‘snatched’ filler fails & ‘natural’ Golden Globes look
THE youngest Kardashian sister Kylie Jenner has grown up in front of the camera and has quickly become the most popular out of the clan.
Her stardom means eyes are always on her, from becoming a mum-of-two with rapper Travis Scott to now supporting her new man Timothée Chalamet at the Golden Globes.
But it’s not just her personal life that fans are obsessed with, it’s also her everchanging appearance from going from the quiet Kardashian sister to her filler obsession.
Recently, while attending the Golden Globes, fans were quick to spot that Kylie had decided to pare back her look and embrace her natural features.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one user penned: “Kylie looks beautiful tonight, and dare I say, natural.”
“Kylie looks amazing, hope the haters are chocking,” another wrote.
Here we take a look at Kylie’s evolution throughout the years while growing up in the limelight.
NATURAL BEAUTY
Age: 11 (2008)
Clearly, a more shy version of the Kylie Hollywood knows now – the 11-year-old rocked simple shorts and a plaid top as she attended an event in 2008.
Her beaming smile dazzled the camera and her natural beauty shined through as she shunned any traces of make-up.
TAN-TASTIC
Age: 13 (2010)
As she switched from schoolgirl to teenager, along came the tan and eyeliner.
Kylie sported a deep golden glow at events and with her lips pursed into a determined pout, she gave the first hints of her sassy sophisticated character coming through.
SMOKY-EYED KY
Age: 14 (2011)
By the time she was 14, Kylie had the smokey eye look all figured out as she began to experiment with makeup.
Gone were the days of her stepping onto the Red Carpet makeup-free and instead dark liner made her eyes pop with eyeshadow in the same shade adding to the sultry look.
She looked every inch the cool A-Lister with her long hair flowing over her shoulders.
SEX SIREN
Age: 16 (2013)
Just two years later and Kylie’s sassiness reached a max as she looked completely unrecognizable.
The TV beauty showed she wouldn’t be content living in her sisters’ shadows as she put on a bold display of skin-baring clothes.
ALL GROWN UP
Age: 17 (2014)
At 17, Kylie began to experiment with her hair as she showed off different colors and hairstyles every other week.
Her fashion sense evolved, opting for tight dresses which made the most of her figure.
It was as she turned 17 that she had her first temporary lip fillers.
Surgeon Dr. Simon Ourian, who has tended to the star on the treatment table, told her sister Khloe: “Kylie has become very wise in what she wants to have done. She has been going through an amazing metamorphosis over the past couple of years.”
POUTY KYLIE
Age: 18 (2015)
The beauty sported brand new lips as she reached her 18th birthday.
Surgeon Dr. Ourian said she had gone through “an amazing metamorphosis” as she revealed the results of her cosmetic procedure.
However, the beauty has denied having any further surgery as she told Wonderland magazine: “People think that I’ve had everything done.
“I thought it was going to chill down when I said, ‘OK, I admit it, I got my lips done, I never lied, I just wasn’t telling the whole truth’.
“And then people took that and were like, ‘Oh well, if she got her lips done she probably got everything done’. People don’t realize I just turned 18, so there’s no way my mom would ever let me undergo a nose job or boob job.”
NEW YEAR, NEW KYLIE
Age: 19 (2016)
This is when Kylie made her full transformation to the socialite fans know now.
The superstar turned up the hotness factor as she showed off a curvier look and made sure everyone saw it.
This is also when she began to overline her lips with her infamous lip-kits which sold out in a matter of seconds for years.
SEX SYMBOL
Age: 20 (2017)
The stunning beauty fully embraced her sexuality and stunning figure by the time she turned 20.
As part of her career, promotional videos for Kylie Cosmetics, and continued work on a new reality show, Life of Kylie, the star wasn’t afraid to bear all on social media.
She was seen experimenting with her look, particularly her hair, and used a range of wigs to show off a new style.
However, for half of the year, Kylie seemed to disappear from the limelight as many speculated that she was pregnant.
NEW MOM
Age: 21 (2018)
In February 2018, Kylie became a mom to daughter Stormi after keeping the pregnancy a secret for the whole nine months.
While pregnant, she had traded her tight dresses and crop tops for baggy clothes to hide her growing bump but she was back in business just weeks after giving birth.
It was also at this time that Kylie decided to dissolve her lip fillers and opt for a more natural look.
She also made it a point to show off her naturally glowy skin on social media and remove all of her extensions as she entered motherhood.
A BILLIONAIRE
Age: 22 (2019)
In 2019, Kylie was named the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes due to her famous cosmetics line, Kylie Cosmetics.
It was also around this time that Kylie’s style was turned up a notch as she sported designer outfit after designer outfit every day.
She also passed on her style gene to her young daughter Stormi who also rocked millions of dollars in outfits and jewelry.
At this time, Kylie returned to getting lip fillers but made sure they fit her frame.
Kylie also later revealed that she had breast implants before giving birth to Stormi.
She confirmed the long-held suspicions that she got implants in a revealing conversation with her bestie Stassie Karanikolaou.
Kylie, who is mother to Stormi, six, and Aire, two, said she’d gone under the knife shortly before she fell pregnant with her daughter Stormi Webster.
She explained: “You know I got my breasts done before Stormi, within six months of having Stormi, not thinking I would have a child when I was 20. They were still healing.”
But in hindsight, the 27-year-old admitted she wished she’d never had the surgery at all, saying: “I had beautiful breasts. Just gorgeous, perfect size.
“I just wish I never got them done to begin with.”
A STYLE ICON
Age: 23 (2020)
Despite the world coming to a stop due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Kylie became the highest-paid celebrity as she continued to grow her businesses and social media following.
While staying at home, Kylie made it a point to remain as glam as possible as it was revealed she was the most materialist of the Kardashian sisters.
The mom of one traveled all over the country and even to Europe despite lockdowns being enforced by all governments.
Mum Life
Age: 24 (2022)
Early in the year, Kylie announced the birth of her second child with Travis Scott in February.
But the mum had a different approach to motherhood this time, keeping her baby hidden from social media for almost a year after Aire was born.
Despite now having two children, Kylie remained looking as glamorous as ever and kept up with filler in her face.
It was later revealed in 2023 that Travis and Kylie had officially split.
Back to Basics
Age: 27 (2025)
Now, Kylie has been tied to Timothée Chalamet, and seems to have ditched her ultra-glam looks for a more natural finish.
Instead of her signature smoky eye and drawn-on brows, Kyle has opted for a more demure look, letting her natural lashes open her eyes and keeping brows natural.
At the Golden Globes, Kylie wore a vintage Versace dress once worn by Elizabeth Hurley.
The low-cut, slinky silver number features floral details and a daring backless design.
She paired the look with loose curls and opted for fresh-faced makeup using little eyeshadow, golden cheeks and nude lipstick.
