Coronation Street stars Jack P. Shepherd and Ben Price have revealed a secret behind Colson Smith's nominations in the house.

On March 13, the soap stars made a special appearance on Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live, where they chatted with presenter Will Best about how they helped Colson prepare for one of the most nerve-racking parts on the show.

"He doesn't like saying anything [negative], like when he had to say who's the biggest game-player," Ben said, adding, "He feels uncomfortable with that."

"He practiced his nominations on me and Jack, why he'd vote each one of us off," Ben continued. He added that Colson "wasn't that harsh" in the house.

In Wednesday's episode of Celebrity Big Brother, Colson was shown in tears, taking a private moment alone in the loo after an awkward icebreaker game.

Housemates had to taste jelly beans and answer either a sweet or sour question, depending on which type of bean they had tried. Levi Roots chose Colson when asked about the most boring housemate.

Colson immediately received support from Fern Britton, who assured him he was never boring. Bradley Riches and Nikita Kuzmin later gave Colson a big hug when they noticed he'd been crying.

Colson's Coronation Street co-star Jack surprised Late & Live host Will by saying he understood why Levi thought Colson was boring.

"I think [Levi] had a point actually," Jack said, adding, "What I think Levi was probably getting at was that Colson's been nice to everyone."

He continued: "I think he was [answering], not someone who's slagged everyone, who had arguments with someone or been in the centre of drama. It is probably Cols. That's what I'd probably say."
