Simon has often praised wife Emma, who runs a tea rooms in Cheshire, for her support of his career on TV.
Last year, the couple revealed that they were set up by one of his soap star colleagues.
“We met 18 years ago in the pub in Eccles owned at the time by Beverley Callard,” Simon revealed, with Emma adding: “I used to go to Bev’s pub with my brother Michael and she was running a singing competition called Eccles Factor. Simon was one of the judges and Bev asked me if I liked Simon, ‘as he’s single and he likes you’.”
Simon asked Emma out on a date when they ran into each other at a charity event weeks later, and they’ve been together ever since.
The couple have three sons together; Alfie, 17, Harry, 15, and Henry, 8.
