Coronation Street actor Simon Gregson, known for his role as Steve McDonald, received an outpouring of well wishes after facing some health issues during the Sotheby’s London to Brighton veteran car run. This event, featuring veteran cars with a speed limit of 20 miles per hour, took a turn for the worse for Simon when the car he was in broke down. Despite the setback, Simon persevered by switching the fuel on and off to keep going.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned for Simon, who later shared on Instagram that he was unable to complete the journey due to feeling unwell with “man flu.” He expressed gratitude to the British Motorist Museum for lending the car and hoped to participate again next year. Simon’s on-screen daughter Elle Mulvaney and former co-star Angela Lonsdale sent their well wishes, along with many fans on social media.
The support and love from fans and colleagues alike show the strong bond and camaraderie within the Coronation Street community. It’s heartwarming to see everyone coming together to wish Simon a speedy recovery and to express appreciation for his efforts during the car run.
