Simon’s wife Emma took over a tearooms near to their home in Cheshire around the same time of his accident.
Now it’s been revealed he’s been helping out with occasional shifts with his new-found spare time.
A source told HOAR: “Simon’s been spotted helping out on a few occasions.”
Simon’s former Corrie co-star Angela Lonsdale also shared a snap of her and Simon outside the tearooms yesterday.
Angela, who played Emma Watts on the soap from 2000 until 2004, praised the new business as a “hidden gem”.
The actress, who most recently appeared in Hollyoaks, also shared her joy at reuniting with Simon as she supported him and Emma’s new venture.
