Simon Gregson discusses anxiety battle on Lorraine<\/h3>\n

Simon Gregson\u2019s Coronation Street alter ego Steve McDonald has been married an astonishing seven times but in real-life, Simon has been married to Emma Gleave for the past 13 years.<\/p>\n

However, his proposal left a lot to be desired, as Emma revealed on Living With Lucy on Virgin Media Television on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The show sees presenter Lucy Kennedy live with celebrities and their families for 72 hours. While staying with Simon, she asked how he proposed and Emma revealed: \u201cIt was the most unromantic proposal ever,\u201d as Simon protested.<\/p>\n

She explained that they had only been dating around six weeks when it happened, as she set the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon had a bedroom with an ensuite, and he was in the bath and then I was just laying on the bed, reading something,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he went Emma I love you. And I said I love you too. And he went, ‘will you marry me?’ I’m thinking he was just kind of joking,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI went yeah, yeah of course I will.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe jumped out the bath and said \u2018I’ve literally got to be in work 20 minutes. Let’s go pick a ring quick\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Lucy looked shocked and told him that he had to make up for it at their vow renewal, Emma chimed in: \u201cYou\u2019ve been promising me for the last 17 years that you\u2019re going to do it properly.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his defence Simon said: \u201cI still maintain it was lovely. Thought came into my head – I love her, I wanna marry her. I wanna be with her for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gonna dwell on it I\u2019m just gonna ask her straight out and get that ring on her finger before she has a chance to realise what just happened,\u201d he intimated.<\/p>\n
