ITV Coronation Street's David Platt says 'it's a bit of a pain' as he snubs co-star Coronation Street icon Jack P. Shepherd has admitted he won't be ringside to support his fellow soap star Sam Aston as he glides into the Dancing on Ice challenge.
This unwritten law means that while EastEnders actors can strut on Strictly, Race Across the World, and MasterChef, as Colson pointed out, Corrie's cast are more likely to be seen braving the jungle in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, or taking to the ice rink on Dancing on Ice.
Colson chimed in, revealing his own plans to cheer on Sam and reminiscing about his time in the audience supporting ex-Corrie colleague Brooke Vincent, who twirled her way to second place in 2018, just behind former X Factor talent Jake Quickenden.
Initially, Colson had mixed up his dance shows, mistaking Sam's gig for a stint on Strictly Come Dancing, only to realise it was EastEnders ' Jamie Borthwick who was strutting his stuff on the BBC hit.
In a candid chat with co-star Colson Smith on their On the Sofa podcast, Jack dished out compliments on Sam's skating prowess ahead of the contest.
