He wrote: "Quick update again! I have to go back in four weeks time to have it checked again. However they're pleased with the progress so all is well for me!"

Last year his character was at the centre of a harrowing storyline after the tragic death of his adoptive mum Leanne Battersby's three-year-old son Oliver. To support the pair during his mum's grief Simon was roped into drug dealing by a dangerous gang, leading the teen and Leanne to end up in witness protection.
Asked if there were future storylines coming up for Simon he said: "Hopefully so soon enough!" Asked how it felt to have been on Corrie for 14 years he said he felt 'so lucky' to be part of it.
