CORONATION Street star Colson Smith’s newly-renovated home is the ultimate bachelor pad and gives a nod to an iconic Manchester band.
The actor, 24, has put in the hard graft painting, decorating and renovating his new pad, and he can now enjoy the fruits of his labour.

The movie lover has a wall-mounted telly with a Sonos speaker bar, perfect for those dramatic Hollywood moments.
The open-plan entertaining area has the immortal Smiths lyrics ‘there is a light that never goes out’ in neon above his patio doors.
The extension also has airy skylights, a modern kitchen and a wooden floor.
Over the course of the renovation, Colson filmed walls being ripped of their plaster, edges being taped and pots of paint being opened as he rolled up his sleeves and helped make the pad a dream home.
It’s not only Colson’s home that has had an overhaul in recent years.
The Craig Tinker star, who is the local police officer on the cobbles, has dramatically changed his look too, losing a whopping 10 stone.
Previously, Colson admitted he was self-harming with food after being abused for his weight by viewers at just 11 years old.
He said: “At 11 years old I had a Twitter account.

“You log in, you search your name, you search ‘Craig Corrie’ and you’re looking to see what people are saying about your character or your acting, and all they’re saying is about your weight and the way you look.
“I was being branded as just the fat kid from day one. Even at school I was always the fat kid, I was always the odd one out.”
Lockdown led Colson to overhaul his lifestyle which kick-started his weight loss journey.
He previously told ITV’s Loose Women: “I was lucky with timing.
“Lockdown was the first time I didn’t have a job and I thought, ‘What’s important to me?’
“I realised Colson is important to me.”
