Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has now collected his car after being probed by police last week.

The actor who plays Steve McDonald on the hit ITV programme was spoken to by Merseyside Police after attending Ladies Day on April 8 at Aintree Racecourse.

Simon, 47, is said to have been involved in a bust-up at the annual event after being seen drinking pints of Guinness while rubbing shoulders with the likes of Zara and Mike Tindall and Jason Manford.

Shortly, after the event, Merseyside Police confirmed they were investigating an "altercation" between two men at a Toby Carvery carpark, close to the world-famous racecourse.

Now, Simon has been pictured arriving at the racecourse in the passenger seat of a grey BMW before driving away in his own car, a black BMW.

The former I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star was dressed casually as he walked across the carpark, wearing a pair of blue washed-out denim jeans, a red raincoat, an New York Yankees baseball cap and grey trainers.

Shortly after getting back into his car and adjusting himself behind the wheel, the dad-of-three set off from the car park as he went about his day.

Following the incident on Friday, a source told The Sunday Mirror: "There was a bust-up and bouncers kicked him out – they pinned him to the ground before the police arrived.

"He was taken to the police van and spoken to for some time, it was all very messy."

Meanwhile, Merseyside Police confirmed: "We can confirm Merseyside Police were in attendance at the Rocking Horse pub on Grand National Avenue, Aintree.

"At around 9.20pm we received a report two men were involved in an altercation inside the pub. No injuries were reported and the victim declined to make a formal complaint to the police. Inquiries are ongoing."

Days before his run-in at Aintree, Simon was reportedly asked to leave a bar during the leaving party for his Coronation Street co-star, Alexandra Mardell.

It had been reported that Simon had whipped his shirt off in the busy nightclub before getting up on the furniture and dancing.
