Donning a bright orange jumper and a simple black cap for the birthday outing, Simon’s injuries remain a mystery. 

The unknown injury caused him to wear a plastic boot as he was seen hobbling from his car to the entrance  of the garden centre.

Simon was seen hobbling around and gesturing using his crutches during the birthday outing.

Simon first appeared on screens as Steve back in 1989 when he arrived alongside his mother Liz played by Beverly Callard.

Steve built up a reputation on Coronation Street for being a ladies man and has been married a staggering SEVEN times to five women.

They include first wife Vicky Arden, played by Chloe Newsome, two marriages to Karen McDonald, played by acclaimed actress Suranne Jones before marrying the wayward loudmouth Becky McDonald, played by Katherine Kelly, whose career spring-boarded following the show with Katherine going onto appear in some of television’s most high-profile dramas. 

He first married current wife Tracy Barlow in 2012 before they separated before getting hitched again in 2018 in what has gone onto be Steve’s longest and most stable marriage but he did marry his on-off love Michelle Connor, played by Strictly star Kym Marsh, in between. 

Simon has also recently branched out to reality television. 

After initially turning down offers to appear on reality programmes, in 2018 he won Celebrity Haunted Mansion, hosted by Christine Lampard, and beating his co-stars such as Katie Price, This Morning favourite Alison Hammond and Blue singer Simon Webbe. 

Last year, he finished as runner-up to fellow soap star Danny Miller in I’m A Celebrity, beating The Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge to second place.
