Coronation Street’s Colson Smith reveals new job after being axed from soap – and it’s worlds away from acting

She played Sophie Webster on the ITV soap opera from 2004 until 2019 when she quit the role after welcoming her 1st child.

Just weeks ago, the star confessed she would “love” to come back to the programme as Sophie.

She arrived alongside another returning star Ryan Thomas – who The Sun recently revealed would be making a short comeback as Jason Grimshaw.

Jason is expected to be back on screens to aid with the exits of his on-screen mother and aunt, Sue Cleaver and Katy Cavanagh.

“PC Tinker will meet his maker in heroic circumstances this summer and there won’t be a dry eye in the house when it goes out.

“Colson is taking it well and there’s a real feeling that this chapter is closing for him and there are bigger and brighter things ahead.”

To commemorate his final day on set, Colson clambered up onto the Rovers Return set for a final picture and made a whopping blunder.

He revealed a lot more than intended with a huge FOR SALE sign visible on the Rovers.

The soap is currently filming around ten weeks ahead of broadcast, meaning this is a major spoiler.

This means the Rovers will be put up for sale by current landlady Jenny Connor.
