Corrie star Alan Halsall's ex makes 'boring' admission after he talks about split to I'm A Celebrity campmates

I'm A Celebrity's Alan Halsall - known for his long-standing role as Tyrone Dobbs on Coronation Street - has opened up to his fellow campmates about his divorce and co-parenting with his ex-wife Lucy-Jo Hudson.

Alan told Dean McCullough about how they met on the set of Corrie and eventually parted ways after their daughter Sienna's birth.

He said: "Lucy left Corrie in about 2005, then we got married in 2009.

"We then split up after Sienna was born. I love what I've got, even now I'm on my own, I love it when it's me and Sienna and that'll change I'm sure, that'll be different at some point but I've never done dating apps.

Lucy-Jo Hudson, known for her role as Katy Harris, took to social media to offer her perspective. She said: "Just wanted to put the record straight. First of all, me and my ex have been divorced seven years. I actually can't believe it's a topic of conversation because it's pretty boring.

"We share Sienna 50/50. We communicate. She's a happy kid. We get on great. We have to work out weekends what we're swapping, certain days he wants, certain days I want. We're constantly communicating because it's important for Sienna and to plan what we're doing. We don't want her missing out so we change things for each other," reports the Mirror.

"Second of all, myself and Lewis [Devine] will be sat down with Sienna watching the jungle. We wish him nothing but the best."

As Alan prepared for his appearance on 'I'm A Celeb,' Lucy-Jo shared a glimpse into her life through a touching Instagram post about 'family time' with 11 year old Sienna.
