He is clocking up around 40 miles a week on the treadmill as he prepares for a return to screens.

A TV source said: “Simon can’t wait to get back to doing what he loves.
He’s been focused on his return for months.”

Last month, Simon, 61, told Terri Seymour about the electric bike accident at his Malibu home last year.
