Simon Gregson has joined the cast of the new series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and he’s already made an impression with fans.
The Coronation Street legend was announced alongside EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt as the two new faces to join the likes of David Ginola, Naughty Boy and Frankie Bridge to be tortured by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as the nation gleefully watches on.
Despite being set in North Wales for the second year running, the cast is still faced with terrifying trials including snakes and spiders, as Simon quickly learned.
But while pretty much everyone in the UK knows who Simon is thanks to his long career on Corrie, people are still curious to know more.
So who is Simon Gregson’s wife, how old is he and who does he play on Coronation Street?
