Corrie’s Simon Gregson 'ejected from party after shirtless dance and swearing at bouncers'
The incident occurred at the Albert Schloss bar in Manchester’s Deansgate. Simon appears to say "f*** you" to the two members of staff as they try to calm him down. Before leaving the stage, he says “I will get down.” Simon has been a regular on Corrie since 1989, and co-star Alexandra portrayed his on-screen daughter, Emma Booker. Simon could be seen earlier in the night hugging Alexandra, 28, as she stood alongside her boyfriend Joe Parker. An anonymous source told the publication that Simon was “acting wildly” and getting carried away. They added that the staff “failed to see the funny side” and this annoyed Simon. They commented: “Simon was acting pretty wildly — but more in the sense that he was in high spirits and getting carried away.“He had obviously had a good night and was out with a lot of the Corrie cast and crew.“It was all a bit of a laugh but it’s quite a plush venue and having a topless middle-aged bloke with a pot belly dancing around on stage at the end of the night is not the sort of image they want to project.“They didn’t seem to care that he was a celebrity and Simon looked pretty angry to be stopped in his tracks by bouncers.“He thought the staff had failed to see the funny side and seemed to argue with them.”
