Coronation Street stars make desperate plea to Celebrity Big Brother fans to vote for Colson in final
CORONATION Street stars have urged Celebrity Big Brother fans to vote for Colson Smith in the final.
During the Late and Live spin-off show, each star in the ITV house had a couple of familiar faces pop up in a clip to show their support as the show reaches its finale.
Colson, known for playing Craig Tinker in the long-running soap, received backing from co-stars Christine McGuinness and Andy Whyment.
In a clip, McGuiness said: “Hi everyone I’m Christine McGuinness, a very good friend of Colson.
“I am asking you to all peek in, in the house. Please vote for Colson, he’s my winner.”
Andy added: “Hello, Please vote for my mate Colson on celebrity big brother.
“He’s had his ups and downs in the house, but I think everyone can see how much of a genuine down-to-earth person he is.”
After the show aired, Andy later took to Instagram and posted a snap of Colson on his Story with the caption: “Just voted for my mate @colsonjsmith.”
Colson is among the final five celebrities in the house, alongside X Factor judge Louis Walsh, This Morning star Fern Britton, reality personality David Potts, and Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin.
Last night fans watched actor Bradley Riches axed from the show in a brutal eviction.
The exit played out in the most savage ways as the remaining celebrities were treated to visits from their loved ones.
However, Bradley’s surprise was a little different as host AJ Odudu greeted him and showed him the door.
There was no public fanfare as the star was quietly removed and taken into hiding for a day before his Late & Live studio exit chat.
Speaking on Live & Late, Bradley said: “I’ve had so much fun, I feel fine, I didn’t think I was gonna make it this so far, and I love everyone in there and I’m so proud of everyone, and I’m very thankful, very grateful and very happy.”
AJ told the star: “Bradley, your stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house is over, you must return to the house, say your goodbyes and leave immediately. Good luck.”
