The father of one, who is dad to eight year-old son Eric, admitted that he 'kept a lot back' at the time of the incident and didn't talk about what had happened.
Detailing more about the crash to Ok! magazine, Simon recalled: 'I didn't talk about it much at the time. I kept a lot back. It was a lot worse than people thought. I had a lot of long-term nerve damage as well.
'Just when I though the bones had healed, I went with Eric to a funfair and tried to kick a football and it was agony.
'Then, a year later, I fell off my bike - and that set me back again. It's been a long haul but I'm almost healed and I'm being very careful about what I do.
'But at least now I can actually play football with Eric. If there was one good thing about lockdown, it was that it gave me the time to heal because I wasn't working on a TV show.
'I was able to walk a lot and strengthen my legs. I know I was lucky to survive my back surgery. I have a lot of people to thank for my recovery.'
