Simon allegedly directed his fury towards the security staff with an expletive-filled rant, who attempted to kick him out of the venue.

An onlooker told The Sun: ‘He was the life and soul of the party but took it a bit far and it annoyed the bar staff and bouncers in the end.’

A lip-reading expert told the publication Simon appeared to be saying ‘f**k’ and ‘f**k you’ to the two members of staff before assuring, ‘I will get down.’ 

The star – who plays character Steve McDonald in the soap – had been partying with Corrie’s Katie McGlynn at the showbiz bash.

Asked to leave? Simon allegedly directed his fury towards the security staff with an expletive-filled rant, who attempted to kick him out of the venue

She allegedly stepped in-between her pal and the bouncer in a bid to cool down the situation, later posting a beaming photo of herself in an unmissable yellow dress alongside Alexandra, who plays Emma Booker in the ITV favourite.

The source continued: ‘Simon was acting pretty wildly — but more in the sense that he was in high spirits and getting carried away.

‘The crowd were laughing and cheering, with a lot of people egging him on, and most people there saw the funny side. But some clubbers were shouting abuse at him as well, which was unnecessary.’ 

Alexandra’s photos from the night saw her party with Millie Gibson (Kelly Neelan), Colson Smith (Craig Tinker), Georgia Taylor (Toyah Battersby), Elle Mulvaney (Amy Barlow) and Mollie Gallagher (Nina Lucas).

Simon’s representatives have been contacted for comment by MailOnline.

It comes after Alexandra revealed that her character is set to leave the cobbles in dramatic fashion as she teased the Rovers barmaid could be sent to prison.  

Appearing on Friday’s episode of This Morning, the actress also detailed her reasons for leaving the soap, explaining that she fancied trying something new.

Following a fatal car crash on the show, Emma has been racked with guilt. 

Although Faye Windass (Ellie Leach) was behind the wheel at the time of the accident, leaving a pensioner dead, Emma was supposed to be teaching her how to drive but she was still intoxicated from the night before.

Teasing that this could mean her character is jailed, Alexandra revealed to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary that her kindhearted alter ego cannot lie.

‘Is she off to prison? What’s gonna happen? I don’t know how she would get on with that.’

Alexandra – who cut a stylish figure for the appearance in a chic fuchsia suit – also revealed that she had originally told show bosses that she wanted to leave a year ago.   

‘There wasn’t a particular reason, I just thought it was my time,’ she explained. ‘It’s a relief they’re not killing me off, the door is open which is lovely.’

Having watched the show since she was a child Alexandra went on to say how she understands why actors stay for 60 years or more.

Co-star William Roach has played the role of Ken Barlow since the show’s inception in 1960.  

‘It goes so fast I feel new myself still, it was massive to leave, it’s like being at school, I was there for quite a long time,’ she said. ‘It’s right for Emma, I’m happy with it.’

She added: ‘I’ve loved every storyline – finding out Steve McDonald is your dad and working with Simon Gregson! He’s such a laugh to work with, I miss him so much.

‘I grew up with Corrie so it was always in my head as a dream. I auditioned for another role and didn’t get it but I always told my mum I would be David Platt’s (Jack P. Shepherd) girlfriend on the show’.

The star who is has been appearing in a play since she left the soap also revealed that she took a few mementos from the set.

She admitted: ‘A mug that said boss girl, I also took the pink furry coats, because why not.’
