CORONATION Street star Colson Smith melted fans’ hearts when he shared rare photos with his stunning make-up artist girlfriend.

The soap star, 27, usually keeps his relationship with Taylor Gunn, 25, out of the spotlight, but couldn’t help posting a series of loved-up selfies.

Colson, who is best known for playing Craig Tinker on Coronation Street, is thought to have been dating make-up artist Taylor for just over two years.

However, during that time he has only shared a handful of images of them together.

That’s why fans went wild when he gave them a sneak peek into their relationship.

It came when Colson posted a slew of pictures, with the caption: “Dumping life.”

The photos included snaps of him enjoying an evening out at Manchester‘s posh cinema, Everyman.

But included in the collage of snaps were two selfies with stunning Taylor.

One picture was of them taking a photo in a lift, while another was of them walking through a busy street.

Fans went wild for the pics, with one saying: “Beautiful photo of you guys.”

This follower added: “Lovely photos.”

Colson first went public with Taylor during the Celebrity Big Brother final when they reunited after his time in the house in 2024.

The Sun previously revealed how Colson and Taylor are keen to keep their romance out of the spotlight.

An insider said at the time: “Colson and Taylor are really happy together.

“He is a private person, but it felt like the right time to share the romance.

“The pair mix in the same circles and are said to have met while out.

“Taylor is a make-up artist but also a wedding and events coordinator at Manchester Hall, where the Corrie cast often hosts parties.”

Meanwhile, Colson shocked fans when he revealed he was leaving Corrie in January last year.

Taking to Instagram, he penned: “Autumn last year I was told that Craig Tinker’s time on the Cobbles is to come to end in 2025.

“I’ve loved every single second of my 14 year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world.

“I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street.

“I’ve learned pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home.

“I’m excited to play out the exit story for our Craigy. For me, this is the end of the beginning.

“I genuinely can’t wait to see what chapter two has in store for me.”

The actor played police officer Craig Tinker from 2011 until his final scenes which aired in May last year.

As part of the dramatic exit, Craig was attacked with a baseball bat by drunk villain Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton).

Viewers were then left heartbroken when the beloved character died following the brutal scenes.
