Summary
- Actor Simon Gregson is selling £37 tickets for fan meet-and-greets.

Actor Simon Gregson, known for his role as Steve McDonald on Coronation Street, has reportedly begun selling tickets for fan events to manage his financial issues. These events, priced at £37 per person and including curry and a drink, are scheduled to take place in Derby next month.
Gregson is currently repaying a significant debt of £165,000 owed to HMRC and Coutts bank. This debt arose after he liquidated his production firm, Simon Gregson Productions Ltd, in 2023. He has been making monthly installments of £1,500 towards the outstanding amount.
Recent reports indicate that Gregson's financial situation may necessitate the sale of his property. Over the past year, he has repaid approximately £18,000. Liquidators have advised that the outstanding balance must be settled from the sale of his home within 36 months.
Previously, confusion arose regarding his marital status when his wife, Emma Gleave, was referred to as his 'estranged wife' in court documents. However, representatives clarified this was a 'court paper error,' and the couple remains together.
