Coronation Street star Simon Gregson was reportedly questioned by police following an incident in a Toby Carvery pub near Aintree racecourse. Pictures obtained by The Sunday Mirror appear to show the actor speaking to officers following time at the Grand National course at Aintree Ladies Day on Friday, April 8.
Police yesterday confirmed they were investigating a reported “altercation” between two men at The Rocking Horse, a Toby Carvery, on Friday night. A source told the website: “There was a bust-up and bouncers kicked him out – they pinned him to the ground before the police arrived. He was taken to the police van and spoken to for some time. It was all very messy.”
Hours earlier the much-loved star, who earns £150,000 a year playing Steve McDonald in the ITV soap, happily posed for pictures with Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall, 40, and her ex-England rugby captain husband Mike, 43, during his day at the races. Gregson, 47, also looked delighted as he rubbed shoulders with ex-footballer Dion Dublin, 52, comedian Jason Manford, 40, and Olympic heptathlete Kelly Sotherton, 45.
