Coronation Street's Simon Gregson in 'too hot to handle' photo

Coronation Street has unveiled a photo of Steve McDonald actor Simon Gregson as part of the soap's interactive advent calendar.

An image on the soap's official Instagram account shows Simon, as Steve, posing in a red scarf, trilby hat and with some purposely placed snowballs.

Previous posts have included Joe Duttine - who plays Tim Metcalfe - in a silly elf hat, and Summer Spellman actress Harriet Bibby telling a cheesy Christmas joke.

Coronation Street's Day Seven post showed Simon as Steve McDonald in his iconic private hire car.

Captioning the post, soap bosses said: "It's snow joke! Today's advent calendar may be too hot to handle!"

Corrie fans clearly found the post hilarious, with many having their say in the comments section.

Simon is currently taking part in this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

He has won fans over with his sense of humour since entering the camp late, alongside EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt.

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV and ITVHub
