Simon Gregson ends 'feud' with Liam Gallagher by offering to take him for a pint

Coronation Street star Simon Gregson has delighted fans by offering to take Liam Gallagher out for a pint.

The Corrie favourite reached out to Liam after the Oasis legend tweeted to his 3.4million followers, asking: "What you gonna do with the rest of your life?"

And Simon replied: "Take you for a pint."

The offer comes days after Liam, 47, described in an interview with The Sun a tense meeting the pair had in the past.

He revealed that decades ago he'd chased after the soap's Steve McDonald after the pair crossed paths outside Granada studios, where Corrie was filmed and where Oasis had made their TV debut with the song Take Me.

The Some Might Say singer recalled: "The guy who is in Coronation Street, Steve McDonald, I was walking down the road with my jacket on and he’s come out and he’s staring at me and I’m staring at him and he’s giving me looks back and I've gone, 'What you f****g looking at?'

He continued: "And he’s wound down his window and flipped the bird at me and then I’ve chased him down the road.

"And he wound his window up and drove off and I kept catching him at lights."

Fans loved the idea of the unlikely duo sharing a pint.

"Forgiven him for the incident at Granada studios all those years ago?" one follower asked Simon, 45, about the apparent olive branch.

"Imagine that @liamgallagher turning up at the rovers to have a pint with Steve McDonald," commented one fan.

"Only if you're playing Steve McDonald and we can watch it. #tvgold," another told Simon.

"What a night that would be Stevie boy," said another.

Simon has played former Rovers Return landlord Steve since 1989 and he's currently at the centre of a heartbreaking storyline about his three-year-old son Oliver being diagnosed with life-limiting mitochondrial disease.
