CORONATION Street legend Simon Gregson has been spotted working a 'normal job' away from the famous cobbles.
Simon, 48, has played Steve McDonald since 1989, but regularly helps out with a side hustle during breaks from filming.
The I'm A Celebrity...star was seen helping out at his wife Emma Gleave's Cheshire tearoom on Sunday.
Ever the dutiful hubby, the soap icon made himself useful as he lent a hand at the cafe - even carrying bottles of washing up liquid.
The star looked like any other worker as he went under the radar in a blue t-shirt and navy shorts, paired with a yellow baseball cap.
At one point, he took a break from his graft and puffed on a cigarette before returning to the job at hand.
