Simon Gregson has been seen screaming in terror after hearing mysterious knocking and breathing noises as he helps a team of ghost hunters investigate paranormal activity inside his Cheshire Home. In hair-raising scenes filmed for the brand-new series of Celebrity Help! My House Is Haunted, the Coronation Street star helps the team of paranormal experts uncover the ghostly mystery.

The actor, who is famed for playing Steve McDonald in the ITV soap for more than 30 years, has been looking for answers after spotting some ghostly activity in his family abode that has left him and his wife, Emma, shaken. This included the sighting of a ghostly female apparition.

Located in an affluent suburb of Cheshire dubbed 'celebrity central' due to its high-profile residents, Simon's shares how his home has felt eerie for some time.

"I think that part of the house goes back quite a long way. And it's spooky.” As Simon describes, the shadowy figure of a woman has been spotted roaming his halls. “It went from right to left across one of the landings upstairs." He then asks: "Are we going crazy or is the house haunted?!"
