Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has been supported by his on-screen ex-wife as he revealed he was making a new move away from the cobbles.

The actor, who is famed for playing Steve McDonald in the ITV soap, was recently flooded with well-wishes after he revealed he'd been struck down with 'man flu' after his weekend plans came to an abrupt end.

Simon had been sharing updates on social media as he took part in Sotheby's London to Brighton veteran car run, the world's largest gathering of veteran cars in which participants are not allowed to exceed an average speed of 20 miles per hour.

He said he ended up having to drive the car by turning the fuel "on and off" before still carrying on the journey to Brighton in another car.
