I'm A Celeb's Simon Gregson squeezes sons in tear-jerking reunion video

Simon Gregson 's reunion with his sons is enough to move you to tears.

The Coronation Street star is back home with his wife Emma Gleave and their boys after living in the I'm A Celebrity castle for weeks.

And the adorable moment he walked into his living room to be met by his sons was caught on camera by his other half.

Little Henry, six, ran straight over and jumped into his dad's arms, with big brother Harry, 12, quickly running over to throw his arms around his dad too.

Simon was clearly overcome with emotion as he squeezed his offspring tight in a loving embrace.

"Here he is," Emma said as the video began.

Simon kissed little Henry as he said: "Oh my god, boys, I've missed you so much."

Sharing the clip on Instagram, Simon wrote: "I’M HOME!!!!!! Wow…. This was emotional," and his followers were quick to comment on how beautiful the moment was.

The official Corrie account added: "Our king".

While co-star Sally Ann Matthews commented: "You were ace Si x"

One fan wrote: "Awww well done my favourite tv person what a lovely human being .. you made tv worth watching .. enjoy your lovely family now and have blessed Christmas".

And another penned: "Got lump in my throat. You did an amazing job Simon well done enjoy your family time now as there is nothing more important".

Simon, who finished as runner-up to Emmerdale's Danny Miller, is also dad to Alfie, 14.

The Steve McDonald actor opened up on yesterday's This Morning about how much he'd missed his family.

He said: "With the isolation, I've not seen the kids and Emma for a month. I was allowed my phone back, it's like being a prisoner.

"I got my phone and was allowed to FaceTime her. She went, have you lost weight and I was like check me out and she was like 'Ooh'."

Simon said that even though he's lost a few pounds during his time in the castle, Emma will be glad that he's maintained his "chunky" figure.

He added: "Luckily for me, she does like the fuller figure. I'm still a chunky Manchester lad which thankfully she likes."
