Corrie star Gregson is engaged

Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has got engaged to girlfriend Emma Gleave.

The actor, who plays Steve McDonald on the ITV1 soap, started dating Emma at the end of last year after they met at a Christmas party.

"Everyone knew Simon was madly in love but the news came out of the blue," a Corrie source told The Mirror. "He has decided not to hang around. He wants to have a wacky, laugh-a-minute do with karaoke. Plenty of cast pals plan to come along."

Gregson was found guilty of drink-driving earlier this week.
