THE wife of Coronation Street actor Simon Gregson has been spotted without her wedding ring again.
It comes after the soap legend, 50, was forced to deny they’d split when Emma was listed as his ‘estranged’ wife in business documents.

Following the couple’s money woes, Emma was seen carrying flowers and a Sainsbury’s bag as she left the shop in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on Valentine’s Day.
It was feared the pair had split as Simon, who plays Steve McDonald in the soap, faced financial struggles.
However, a source close to the 50-year-old actor confirmed the pair are definitely still going strong.
“Simon and Emma have not split and are still very much together, “ the source said.
“Simon has no idea why Emma is listed as his ‘estranged wife’ in financial paperwork.”
However, Emma was not wearing her wedding ring when she was seen out recently.
Simon married Emma in 2010 after five years together and they have three sons.
In recent years, the couple have been struggling with money issues.
Despite Simon’s money spinning I’m A Celebrity appearance and £250k fee in 2021, and a reported £150k a year Corrie salary, the ITV star has been struggling with debt from his media company.
Simon Gregson Productions Ltd fell on hard times during the pandemic and Simon was forced to sign up to I’m A Celeb to clear the debt.
He later told Good Morning Britain that he did it because “the money is good” and it was “enough to get him out of trouble” comparing the fee to a “solid gold diamond goblet”.
In January 2024, Simon offered to sell old furniture from his office to clear part of the debt.
He now faces having to sell his family home if he doesn’t pay back a £250,000 loan from his production company, according to reports.
