Coronation Street’s Simon Gregson’s police investigation dropped as pals say he wants to move on from drunken fight

CORRIE actor Simon Gregson is said to be off the hook over a boozy fight.

A pal said police dropped their investigation into the ruck earlier this month.

Gregson, 47, who plays Steve McDonald, was spoken to by cops at a Toby Carvery after a boozy day at Aintree races.

A week before, he was filmed shirtless being ejected from a bar in Manchester.

A pal said: “Simon has been told there will be no further action taken by the cops following the ruckus in the Toby Carvery.

“It is naturally a welcome relief for Simon and those around him. Simon knows his antics haven’t looked, or been, great and he made it clear to Corrie it won’t happen again.”

The Sun revealed how the actor apologised to his soap bosses.

The dad of three, runner-up on last year’s I’m A Celebrity, previously admitted he used to get “dangerously drunk” with friends after starting on Corrie in 1989.

He said: “I’d go through a bottle of Scotch at 4 or 5am after the pub.”
