How did Simon Gregson break his leg?

Simon recently spoke about how he injured his leg.

Speaking to The Mirror he said: “I’ve broken my leg. I literally went over and rolled my ankle, outside the back of the house. It was done in six places.

“I’m able to drive now but walking across wet fields is a no for me. Because if I slip it’s back to square one.”

Speaking about it being written into the soap, Simon added: “They’ve written it in.

“They just kind of spoke about it. It’s like when Bobby Ewing woke up in the show [in Dallas]. No one cares after about five minutes.”
