Watch: Colson Smith's second rehearsal video diary

Colson Smith, who plays Craig Tinker, has uploaded his second video diary showing what he's up to while he's rehearsing for the Coronation Street live episode.  When's that on and what's it all about? Have a look here!

In Colson's second video diary we meet his mum who has returned from holiday and takes Colson shopping. We also see him in his local cricket club, and if you follow Colson on twitter @ColsonSmith you'll know that cricket is a major passion of his.

He says he's getting really into the rehearsal for the live episode and is really enjoying it.

You can get a sneak peek into Colson's world here.

Watch: Colson Smith's live episode video diary

In the run up to Coronation Street live's episode, the official ITV Corrie site have given Colson Smith (Craig Tinker) a camera to video his rehearsals and show it online.

The first instalment from Colson's diary is online now and it's a three minute gem.  Colson tells us he's nervous about doing the live episode, especially as he's never done any live theatre before. He reveals that he's going to be in the live episode for six scenes and as he rips open his script for the live episode, he tells us the first word uttered will be 'Back...'

Colson tells us how he learns his lines for Corrie and we also see him at the hairdressers. As the cast have filmed everything leading up to the live episode, and beyond, some eight weeks ago, it's important for continuity that haircuts are the same as they were eight weeks ago.

The next instalment of Colson's video diary will be Thursday this week, 10 September. I'm looking forward to it already.

Watch instalment one here.
