Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has called for his character Steve McDonald to take a break from Weatherfield.

This week, Steve and Tracy were horrified when they learnt their daughter Amy had collapsed outside of a club.

At first they feared she had take drugs, but her friends assured them Amy didn’t take anything.

Soon doctors began to suspect she had been spiked and date-rape drug GHB was found in her system.

When Steve found out that former drug dealer Jacob Hay, who Amy had secretly been in a relationship with, was with Amy the night she was spiked, he immediately blamed him.

However actor Simon Gregson, who plays Steve, has said he thinks Steve needs a break after everything that’s happened.

When asked what advice Simon would give Steve in this situation, Simon said: “My advice would be to go on holiday for a very long time and have a break!
