In the latest episode of the On The Sofa podcast, Coronation Street stars Jack P. Shepherd (David Platt), Ben Price (Nick Tilsley), and Colson Smith (Craig Tinker) delivered an unforgettable moment that had fans laughing out loud. The trio, known for their hilarious banter on the podcast, shared the details of Colson’s Weakest Link mishap, leaving Jack in stitches and fans of the show in tears of laughter.
Colson’s “Disastrous” Weakest Link Moment
Colson, who recently left Coronation Street after almost 14 years as Craig Tinker, revealed a cringe-worthy moment he had during his appearance on the BBC quiz show The Weakest Link. Hosted by Romesh Ranganathan, Colson tested his general knowledge skills on the show, but one question quickly spiraled into an unforgettable blunder.
During the “picture round,” the contestants were shown an image of a tennis player, and Colson was asked to identify her. The question was simple: “On your screen now, Colson is a tennis player who is named after a planet.” With the image of Venus Williams on screen, the correct answer was clear.
But Colson, who was apparently caught off guard, responded with something that left both him and his co-stars in disbelief: “F*****g Jupiter.” Yes, he confused the planet Venus with Jupiter—a mix-up that had Jack and Ben cracking up.
Jack and Ben Can’t Contain Their Laughter
As Colson admitted his mistake, Jack was in absolute disbelief. “No you didn’t, no you f*****g didn’t!” Jack exclaimed, laughing uncontrollably. Ben chimed in, asking, “What did you say?” and Colson, clearly embarrassed, explained, “I said Jupiter.” The two hosts couldn’t believe the slip-up and immediately started joking about Venus Williams being called “Jupiter Williams.”
The whole exchange had the fans laughing, with many taking to social media to share their amusement. One listener wrote: “Bless him. Could only happen to Colson, not only does he confuse his words up, he’s now confusing his planets up too. Oh well, Colson, I’m sure you did well considering this mishap.”
Fans React to the Hilarious Mishap
The On The Sofa podcast has become a fan favorite, and this particular episode is no exception. Fans rushed to the comments to share their thoughts, with many writing laughing emojis and expressing their love for Colson’s hilarious personality. “This made me laugh out loud today when I was listening, love this podcast,” one fan shared, while another said: “Love you Colson, you make me laugh.”
The podcast also allowed fans to get a glimpse into the playful and fun dynamic between the three co-stars, who have all been part of Coronation Street for many years. Colson’s easygoing and comedic nature is clearly beloved by listeners, and Jack and Ben’s reactions to his blunder were just as entertaining as the mistake itself.
