Christine McGuinness has admitted that she's 'counting down the days' until she reunited with her Coronation Street star pal Colson Smith. The pair became firm pals after taking part in ITV competition show, The Games, last year.
The show, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff, saw 12 celebrities - including Christine and Colson - battle it out in a sporting spectacular event across a week of live programmes. The stars had been trained and coached for the events including diving and weight lifting.
But it all came down to the live show where the celebrities racked up points so that at the end of the competition, the contestants with the most points were awarded either a gold, silver or bronze medal with one male champion and one female crowned the winners of The Games.

Since then, Christine has remained friends with a number of her The Games co-stars including Colson, who is gamed for playing Craig Tinker in Corrie. Taking to Instagram over the weekend, Colson posted a selfie to his main grid which showed him sporting a new mature look.
The soap star, 24, appears to have grown out his facial hair around his chin and above his top lip. He could also be seen donning a bucket hat and sports jacket after heading out to watch some sporting action himself. "I spent my weekend stressing about 11 of my mates playing cricket wbu?" Colson typed alongside the snap.
And Christine was quick to respond to Colson's question, writing in the comments: "I’ve been busy counting the days to the Chrissie x Colson reunion." The 35-year-old model then added: "Can’t wait to drive you maaadddd."
