Coronation Street's Colson Smith had an amusing slip-up during his time on Celebrity Big Brother, leaving fans in hysterics after accidentally referring to fellow housemate Jack P Shepherd by his soap character's name.
The 25-year-old actor, best known for playing Craig Tinker in the ITV soap, found himself in an awkward yet hilarious moment when he mistakenly called Jack 'David' – the name of his long-running Corrie character.
A Classic Soap Slip-Up
Viewers were quick to spot the blunder, with many taking to social media to share their amusement. "Colson calling Jack 'David' is the most Coronation Street thing ever," one fan tweeted, while another joked: "Old habits die hard!"
The incident occurred during a casual conversation in the Celebrity Big Brother house, proving that even when away from Weatherfield, some Corrie stars can't quite shake off their on-screen identities.
From Cobbles to Reality TV
Both actors have become fan favourites on this year's series of the reality show, with their soap background creating several entertaining moments. Jack, who has played David Platt since 2000, recently revealed he nearly turned down the Celebrity Big Brother opportunity before being persuaded by his wife.
Meanwhile, Colson has been open about his weight loss journey during his time in the house, inspiring viewers with his dedication to fitness.
Viewers React
The accidental name mix-up sent Coronation Street fans into a frenzy on social media:
- "This is why we need a Corrie cast reunion in the house!"
- "Ten years on the cobbles and Colson still sees Jack as David Platt - iconic!"
- "The producers need to show this clip to the Corrie writers for David's next storyline."
As the series continues, viewers will be watching closely to see if any more soap-related blunders occur between the Coronation Street colleagues.
