Ryan Thomas, Action Man

Ryan Thomas, who plays Coronation Street's Jason Grimshaw, is taking part in The Men's Health Survival Of The Fittest, a series of extreme running events designed to push contestants to the limit.  It takes place in Manchester on November 3.

Ryan reaveals to today's Star the kind of detailed trivia about his life that fans might like to know. He likes to have brown toast for breakfast but is currently experimenting with steak, as you do.  He likes fruit, yoghurts, coffee, salad and sometimes he'll have sushi.  Riveting, I know.  He loves ice-cream and his ideal meal out is sliced raw beef.

He talks about his training, says he likes playing football but hang on to your hats, Corrie fans, there is something he does not like - and I quote:  "I'm not a fan of salmon".

Ryan will be taking part in Men's Health Survival Of The Fittest in Manchester on November 3.
