Coronation Street’s Simon Gregson shares health update after he’s forced to deny split from wife
CORONATION Street star Simon Gregson has shared a health update after he was forced to deny splitting from his wife.
Simon and his wife Emma were hit with speculation they had broken up after Emma was listed as his ‘estranged’ wife in business documents.
But a source close to the 50-year-old actor has now confirmed the pair are definitely still going strong.
The actor, who plays ladies’ man Steve McDonald in the soap, has now posted a video to his 150,000 followers to update them on what’s going on with his health.
He said: “This is the as promised progress report, it’s going on for two weeks now.
“So with the CBD stuff and gummies and oil, I feel good. There’s an ease after stress that can build up.
“Three kids, three dogs and a cat, it’s a job and this gives me that nice calm and I’m sleeping a lot better before I go to bed.”
He continued: “It’s working, and I am feeling the benefits and I am pleased.”
A week or so ago, Simon said he’d been trying CBD to help with his anxiety, which is something he’s spoken about a great deal in the past.
Away from the Coronation Street set as years went on, Simon started suffering panic attacks and anxiety as he struggled to handle his fame.
Simon explained: “We were kind of dropped in the middle of the ocean at fifteen and left to swim to shore. It had a massive impact on my mental health, looking back.
“It makes me very upset, for the only reason that I’ve got kids the same age now, and the thought of them going through what I went through is horrible. It’s not nice.”
Simon attempted therapy for the first time with the help of his father, who as a member of the police force, has an allowance for family members to get help for their mental health.
However, he adds that they “didn’t know what to do with him” and he quickly gave up.
He later explained he started self-medicating by ‘getting really really drunk’ which he says was ‘great’ and ‘not a problem’ – although acknowledged others around him may not have felt the same.
Simon added he only started curbing his drinking when he met his wife and she laid down the law, admitting he would rather have been with her than drinking.
But his anxiety remained, and in 2015 he was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, with the doctor saying it may have started around the time he started Corrie.
Meanwhile, Simon and his wife are still very much together according to a source.
They said: “Simon and Emma have not split and are still very much together.
“Simon has no idea why Emma is listed as his ‘estranged wife’ in financial paperwork.”
It followed reports that Simon is facing having to sell his family home if he doesn’t pay back a £250,000 loan from his production company.
Simon has often praised wife Emma, who runs a tea rooms in Cheshire, for her support of his career on TV.
Last year, the couple revealed that they were set up by one of his soap star colleagues.
“We met 18 years ago in the pub in Eccles owned at the time by Beverley Callard,” Simon revealed, with Emma adding: “I used to go to Bev’s pub with my brother Michael and she was running a singing competition called Eccles Factor. Simon was one of the judges and Bev asked me if I liked Simon, ‘as he’s single and he likes you’.”
Simon asked Emma out on a date when they ran into each other at a charity event weeks later, and they’ve been together ever since.
Man Utd ‘set to enter race with Chelsea for Mathys Tel, 19’ if Rashford or Garnacho leave before transfer deadline
MANCHESTER UNITED will reportedly consider entering the race for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel if Marcus Rashford or Alejandro Garnacho leaves before deadline day.
Rashford and Garnacho are both facing the axe at Old Trafford, with head coach Ruben Amorim open to letting them go.
The duo have come under fire in recent months amid concerns about their attitude on and off the pitch.
Amorim blasted Rashford’s lack of effort in training at the weekend and said that 63-year-old coach Jorge Vital would be more deserving of a place on the bench.
He insisted: “I’d put Vital on the bench before a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day. I’ll not change in that department.
“It’s always the same reason. The reason is the training. The way that I see what a footballer should do in training, in life, every day. If things don’t change, I will not change.
“Same situation for every player — if you do the maximum, if you do the right things, we can use every player.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea have expressed an interest in signing Garnacho before deadline day.
If either player leaves United within the next week, the Red Devils could attempt to sign Tel from Bayern Munich.
Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg claims Man Utd could enter the race for the forward in the next few days depending on outgoings.

It is understood to be an open race for him, with Chelsea also heavily linked.
It was revealed earlier this week that Tel, 19, wants to leave Bayern Munich this month.
He is allegedly prepared to assess all of his options before making a final decision on his future.
Several clubs are understood to be interested.

Transfer guru David Ornstein breaks down Marcus Rashford situation at Man Utd and gives prediction on future
MARCUS RASHFORD could reportedly be involved in a deadline-day scramble.
The Manchester United star has been exiled from the first-team in recent weeks and made available for transfer.
United want £40million for Rashford and are willing to let him leave on loan, which appears the more likely deal.
Clubs in Europe have been linked with Rashford understood to be keen on a switch to Barcelona.
But his hefty £275,000-a-week wages have proved a stumbling block so far and no deal is close to being completed, according to David Ornstein.
He said on The Overlap‘s Fan Debate: “There is interest in him because of quality we have seen in the past and that’s why conversations have taken place with the likes of AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus.
“There was some interest from the Premier League but I think his decision was that he wanted to go abroad and his preference is Barcelona.
“But Barcelona is extremely difficult financially. The door has never been closed at United because he is under contract until 2028.
“Right now I don’t know of anything being close. It could be a deadline day scramble. The biggest problem in the Rashford situation is the finances involved.
“If he was more affordable I think he probably would have made a move by now. A loan move most likely.”

Ruben Amorim and Rashford are reportedly no longer on speaking terms after the United boss said he would rather name a coach in his matchday squad than the forward.
Rashford, 27, himself admitted he is ready for a new challenge and Ornstein predicted that he will likely make a move.
TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: STAY UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST MOVES FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW
He continued: “How much do you want to get playing elsewhere? How much do you want to work your plans back into United? Is that door truly open? It’s a complete mess.
“I think it would be surprising if something can’t be resolved for him to play the second half of the season elsewhere but because of the finances involved and the complications there is no guarantee he will move.”
Why Rashford joining Arsenal is perfect fit
MARCUS RASHFORD is at a crossroads.
But now the England star has to make the biggest choice he has ever faced – does he care about cash, or about his career?
Rashford’s shock admission that he is “ready for a new challenge” after some two decades under the Manchester United umbrella has altered the dynamic around his future.
That Rashford might not fit the blueprint of Ruben Amorim – who has now responded to Rashford’s comments – was not exactly a surprise.
The Portuguese coach prefers a 3-4-3 formation but appears to have settled on Rasmus Hojlund as his starting central striker and wants two “narrow” inside forwards, with the width coming from the wing-backs.
Rashford has always wanted to play through the middle but is often at his best exploiting spaces out wide – and that skillset does not necessarily suit the way Amorim wants to play.
Even so, going public with his evident dissatisfaction at being bombed entirely from the squad for the Manchester derby was a major move, even if he vowed there would be “no hard feelings” if he does leave his boyhood club.
In truth, Rashford has been leaving United almost from the moment he signed that new £325,000 per week contract in 2023.
Something was broken in his connection to the club. His form dropped, his threat dissipated, his issues with the hierarchy deepened.
When Erik ten Hag dropped him for hosting a birthday party after a derby defeat, and he later pulled a sickie to miss the FA Cup game with Newport, it felt even then that the writing was on the wall.
The facts suggest the love affair has ended. After scoring 30 in all competitions to earn that new deal, he has scored just 15 in the 18 months since it was signed.
Amorim’s arrival seems merely to have accelerated what was increasingly inevitable.
Now, though, it is up to Rashford to determine what his future will bring.
If it is only about the money, then his options might be somewhat limited.
It is hard to see a Prem rival coughing up the same £16.9m annual salary – although Rashford’s comments have probably knocked £20m-plus off any transfer fee.
But Real Madrid have their fill of big-money strikers and Barcelona’s budget remains restricted by LaLiga financial controls.
In Europe, then, that probably leaves PSG – but a move to a one-club league.
Or, in the wider world, he could follow the likes of Ivan Toney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Firmino and Co and head to the Saudi desert.
Lucrative, yep. Certainly a different environment – and that may be exactly what Rashford both wants and needs. But the football? Not in a million years.
What Rashford needs, above all, is to be able to play for trophies and showcase his talents.
There is no better stage than the Premier League – which has far more global eyeballs on it than any other domestic competition.
And in that Premier League there is one club crying out for a goalscoring No 9, especially if he can also play down the left channel to balance out the side and widen its threat.
Rashford has always been more Longsight than London.
Yet Arsenal, and Mikel Arteta, might be the perfect fit.
The Gunners’ lack of a proper scorer is one of the major factors many fans feel has hurt their title challenge this year.
Gabriel Jesus has never been a natural finisher, while Kai Havertz is still a converted midfielder.
And while the link-up between Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka makes their right flank deadly, faith in Gabriel Martinelli on the left is waning.
There have not been too many who succeeded at Arsenal after leaving United – although Danny Welbeck was not a flop.
Rashford has all the attributes to change that history, if he can reproduce what everybody knows is inside him.
And by breaking free, giving himself the chance to start all over, Rashford can make a point to Amorim that will resonate for a very long time.
Man Utd flops ‘hammered’ by Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney in legends’ WhatsApp group – and current star is in chat too
MANCHESTER UNITED flops are “hammered” in a WhatsApp Group chat containing former stars, Rio Ferdinand has revealed.
Outspoken ex-Red Devils star Ferdinand is rarely slow in offering his opinion about the state of his former club.
And as it turns out, there are several other stars who also seem to share that sentiment in a group chat.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand Presents, with Man Utd women’s star Ella Toone, Ferdinand revealed he had a group chat with many of the stars from Ferguson’s last great era at Man Utd.
Named “Band of Brothers”, Ferdinand namedropped several ex-stars in the group, including Wayne Rooney, Nani, and Patrice Evra.
Stars on the younger end of those squads such as Tom Cleverly, Anderson and Danny Welbeck are present too, while current United star Jonny Evans is also in there.
Ferdinand also revealed that Edwin van der Sar was a recent addition, but joked he may leave the chat soon.
In terms of some of what is said in the chat, the 46-year-old said a lot of the recent chat was them “hammering” the Man Utd men’s team.
Although they are not above digging one another out as well, with Evra apparently taking the brunt of the flak.
Ferdinand said: “We hammer each other. Active… it’s active constantly.

“Wazza was the last person who spoke in there. It’s called ‘Band of Brothers’. I can’t tell you the next bit, it won’t make the cut.
“It’s just hammering the United team. Look, lads are just hammering them through the game. ‘He’s not good enough’. I love it. It just keeps me connected to the lads.
“You’ve got the younger lads like Tom Cleverley, Danny Welbeck, and then there’s Nani and Anderson.
“You know who joined recently? Edwin van der Sar. I think he’s going to delete himself soon because the chat ain’t for him. I don’t think he knows how to send gifs.
“Who else is in there? Jonny Evans is in there, who’s currently playing. Some of the stuff that goes on… Patrice Evra gets mullered, hammered all the time. We hammer each other.”
Toone, 25, revealed she has a group chat of her own with some of the women’s stars who won the Euros in 2022.
However, she admitted that messages are quite rare unless Jill Scott is trying to “sell them something”.
She said: “There is a group but hardly anything gets put in unless Jill Scott’s trying to sell us something.
“I’m like ‘Oh is it Jill, Jill’s in the chat again’. Or Jill will put, ‘Good luck girls for the game’, but it doesn’t go off. I want to go off.
MAN UTD PLAYER RATINGS: Maguire puts in superb defensive display but Garnacho caught running into blind alleys
MANCHESTER UNITED secured a hard-fought three points against Fulham.
Lisandro Martinez’s deflected strike proved to be the difference in what was the Red Devils’ only shot on target all game.
Harry Maguire impressed but Alejandro Garnacho once again failed to impress in what could have been his Man Utd farewell amid rumours linking him with Napoli and Chelsea.
Here is how SunSport rated the individual performances.
Andre Onana – 7
Good save low down to his left to keep out an Alex Iwobi shot early doors.
Other than that he was barely tested but no glaring errors mean it is a step in the right direction for the Red Devils No1.
Diogo Dalot – 6
Had a difficult time in the first half up against Iwobi who was Fulham‘s main attacking threat.
Switched to the left flank in the second half and supported Garnacho without posing much of a threat.
Matthijs de Ligt – 8
Another strong showing at the back from the Dutchman. Without his support for Dalot, Fulham may have created a goal down United’s right-hand side.
Harry Maguire – 9
A superb defensive display from the England star who has been one of United’s best players since Amorim took charge.
Pulled off a brilliant header at the back post to deny Rodrigo Muniz a certain goal.
Lisandro Martinez – 8
Superb last-ditch tackle to prevent Emile Smith Rowe from shooting as he burst through on goal.
His goal had a big slice of luck as it was deflected past Bernd Leno but credit to him for having the audacity to shoot.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Solid at the back and tried to get forward when he could. United looked more balance with him on the left and Dalot on the right, although the pair swapped at half-time.
Manuel Ugarte – 6
Showed some nice touches and was a bit of a menace in the middle – in a positive and negative sense. Kept a close eye on Smith Rowe and allowed him no time on the ball.
Booked for a foul on Adama Traore and was taken off shortly afterwards with an injury.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Not at his best. Barely saw the ball in the first half and was not very effective when he did get it.
Amad Diallo – 6
Looked bright on the ball and United’s only real outlet going forward.
He worked tirelessly and pressed really well – his hard work paid off when he found the back of the net in stoppage time but his effort was chalked off.
Alejandro Garnacho – 3
Was cautious on the ball and ran into blind alleys too often. Final ball let him down on the rare occasion he did manage to beat a defender.
Rasmus Hojlund – 4
His hold up play is nowhere near good enough for this system or for a club like United.
He was too gung-ho at times and his erratic nature meant linking up with Amad and Garnacho proved difficult.
Hauled off before the hour mark which says it all about his performance.
Subs:
Leny Yoro (for De Ligt, 58mins) – 6
A more assured display given his shaky start to life in the Premier League.
Joshua Zirkzee (for Hojlund, 58mins) – 5
Like Hojlund he had a difficult time holding the ball up but United improved with him on the pitch.
Toby Collyer (for Ugarte, 76mins ) – 6
Solid display again from the youngster who was often in the right position to clear, including one on the line to stop a Joachim Andersen header from going in.
Kobbie Mainoo (for Garnacho, 80mins) – 6
Provided energy in midfield and shored things up alongside Collyer.
A brilliant one-two with Amad set up the winger to score before VAR ruled Amad offside.
Tyrell Malacia (for Mazraoui, 80mins) – 6
Brought on in an unfamiliar right wing-back role but did what was needed to see out the clean sheet.
In an emotional segment of the interview, Toone opened up on how she had dealt with the death of her father, Nick, who passed away in September.
The Lionesses star has been in electric form for United women since returning from injury in early January, scoring a hat-trick in the Manchester derby before netting again in a 3-0 win over Brighton.
Her exploits, along with a sturdy defence despite the loss of Mary Earps on a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, have seen United move up to second in the Women’s Super League table.
However, they have some way to go to catch Chelsea, who remain unbeaten and have just added USWNT star Naomi Girma to their squad for a world record fee of £900,000 from San Diego Wave.
The United men’s team have fared far worse this season and currently sit 12th in the Premier League table.
A win against Fulham saw them bounce back from a loss against Brighton the week before.
In midweek, United faced Rangers in their penultimate Europa League fixture and won it late on thanks to Bruno Fernandes.
The win put them in a strong position to automatically qualify for the Europa League knockout rounds without the need for an additional play-off round.
In theory, a draw should be enough, but a win will confirm their progress with no issues.
Man Utd squad transfer verdict
SunSport gives its verdict on what Man Utd stars should stay or go in the first phase of Ruben Amorim's squad rebuild:
Andre Onana – Stay
Despite being guilty of some erratic performances, Andre Onana remains a world-class goalkeeper and United would struggle to find better in the market.
The defence has begun to look more solid in recent weeks now Amorim has had time to coach the structure into the team, and hopefully, that will be converted into clean sheets going forward.
Noussair Mazraoui – Stay
The best signing from the summer window so far, Noussair Mazraoui has proven to be everything Man Utd needed and more.
Versatile, reliable and passionate no matter whether he plays at wing-back or centre-back, it is a no-brainer to keep the Moroccan.
Leny Yoro – Stay
After a pre-season injury, Leny Yoro has taken some time to bed in but he has shown some superb moments in a Man Utd shirt already like his lung-busting run to block a Liverpool shot in the 2-2 draw at Anfield earlier this month.
At the age of 19 he will only get better and while too much expectation should not be thrust on him just yet, the early signs suggest he could be a mainstay in defence for years to come.
Harry Maguire – Go
The last time we did this list Harry Maguire was one of our main defensive options to be sold, but since Amorim has come with the back three the England international has barely put a foot wrong.
The issue with Maguire is that while he is perfectly suited to a back three, he will be 32 in the summer and has just one year left on his contract, so if a serious offer comes in he should regrettably be sold.
Matthijs de Ligt – Stay
Matthijs de Ligt has been very hit or miss since arriving in the summer. Capable of heroic last-ditch tackles like he did at Arsenal and also capable of some very silly passages of play like his handball against Liverpool.
In many ways, the Dutchman seems like a younger version of Maguire and given some more time to bed in he should improve even more.
Lisandro Martinez – Stay
Has really started to grow into the Amorim system in recent games after a very sticky patch of form.
He is one of the team’s best progressive passers in the build-up phase and has the dogged mentality this team will need to improve and claw its way up the table.
Luke Shaw – Go
It’s been said that one of the best abilities is availability, and that rings incredibly true for Luke Shaw.
World class on his day and is clearly still capable of finding those levels, as seen at less than full fitness with England at the Euros. But he is simply not available often enough to warrant keeping.
Tyrell Malacia – Go
Tyrell Malacia is still recovering his match sharpness from his two-year injury layoff, so it is a bit harsh to make a verdict on him so soon.
The current concern is that United will need to aggressively recruit specialist left wing-backs in the summer, and Malacia so far has not looked totally comfortable playing there.
Manuel Ugarte – Stay
Question marks were being raised about him after his first few games. But under Amorim, Manuel Ugarte has once again become the lynchpin of his midfield.
He knows the system inside out and is one of the Premier League’s most proficient ball winners. It would be madness to consider his sale next summer.
Kobbie Mainoo – Stay
Despite reports that Chelsea and Bayern Munich want to sign the 19-year-old, Kobbie Mainoo should be one of the few genuinely untouchable stars at the club and his contract situation needs sorting ASAP.
He has quality and aspects to his game not possessed by many other midfielders, and with improvements to the stars around him, he and Ugarte should be able to form an effective partnership for many years to come.
Casemiro – Go
Casemiro unfortunately seemed to lose his legs going into his second season at Man Utd. And with the 3-4-3 system demanding even more running from him, it is clear he simply does not fit the bill for what the club need going forward.
It would also help the club’s financial goals to see him sold due to his massive £375,000-a-week wages being taken off the books.
Bruno Fernandes – Stay
The club captain, Bruno Fernandes has faced a lot of criticism since taking the armband for his erratic decisions and losing his temper.
Yet he remains the best player in the squad by some distance and shows the mentality the squad needs to improve. Besides it’s not like United’s most famous captain of the Premier League era, Roy Keane, was exactly cool-headed.
Antony – Go
There’s a definite case to argue that Antony may be the worst pound-for-pound signing in Premier League history, with games too often passing him by and lacking quality when he is involved.
That being said, he has improved in a number of brief cameos when featuring as a wing-back under Amorim. But unless there is a plan for him to learn the position and become a specialist he should be moved on.
Marcus Rashford – Go
It was not supposed to end like this. Once the darling of Old Trafford and Carrington, Marcus Rashford’s comments admitting he wanted a new challenge were probably the final nail in the coffin for his Man Utd future.
There is a classy player in there if he can find the motivation to love his football again. A sale to a rival should be ruled out for fear of exactly that, while a sale overseas should be targeted and pushed by the club.
Amad Diallo – Stay
Has taken a real liking to his role as either the right No.10 in the 3-4-3 or as the right wing-back.
Amad Diallo has been one of the team’s best players this season and was rewarded with a new deal as a result.
Alejandro Garnacho – Go
Arguably the trickiest star on the list, Alejandro Garnacho has bags of raw talent to elevate him to being world-class. But recent off-field issues and poor form have doubt cast on his future.
If, as reports suggest, a major bid of £60m from the likes of Napoli comes in there will be a tough decision to make. Though it may be the financial situation of the club which ultimately tips the scale.
Joshua Zirkzee – Go
Joshua Zirkzee has certainly been hit-and-miss at United so far. He has had some games and moments where he has looked very impressive, and others where he is simply not good enough.
He has a very unique profile which makes him top drawer in the right system, it is just United will probably never play the right way for him to truly excel.
