During Tuesday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity, Alan Halsall spoke candidly about his separation from his former wife, Lucy-Jo Hudson.

The actor split from his ex co-star from Coronation Street, Lucy-Jo, who portrayed Katy Harris, in 2018.

Alan, the soap opera actor known for his role as Tyronne Dobbs in the ITV series, has an 11-year-old daughter named Sienna-Rae with his former wife.

In a conversation with Dean McCullough regarding his breakup, Alan mentioned, "Lucy departed from Coronation Street around 2005, and we tied the knot in 2009. We eventually separated after the birth of Sienna."

I appreciate my current situation, even though I'm on my own. I really enjoy the time I spend with Sienna, and I know things might change in the future. However, I've never used dating apps before.

Lucy-Jo ended her marriage with Alan after almost nine years. Just two months later, it came to light that she had started dating Lewis Devine.

During Tuesday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity, Alan Halsall spoke candidly about his separation from his former spouse, Lucy-Jo Hudson.

The actor ended his marriage to his ex-Cold Coronation Street colleague Lucy-Jo, known for her role as Katy Harris, in 2018 (they are seen together in 2016).

She chose not to reveal her relationship until October of that year, when she took to Instagram to post a heartfelt message about her boyfriend. The two had previously performed together in the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs pantomime back in 2017.

In 2020, Alan appeared to react strongly to his ex-wife's boyfriend when he called their daughter, Sienna-Rae, his own.

The actor seemed to comment on Lewis' enthusiastic message celebrating the arrival of his son, Carter, with Lucy-Jo.

In the midst of his joy at becoming a father for the first time, Lewis expressed admiration for Lucy-Jo and Alan's little girl, Sienna. He mentioned, "Sienna is overjoyed and is already proving to be an amazing big sister, exactly as I expected!"

In an Instagram post that has since been removed and was seen by The Sun, Alan seemed to react negatively to Lewis using the term 'our' and appeared to respond to his ex's new boyfriend.

He expressed: 'Feel free to keep the deceitful, untrustworthy person and consider her yours! But she is not my daughter.'

In recent years, Alan experienced an amazing change in his physique after starting a healthier way of living following his divorce.

In a conversation with Dean McCullough regarding his breakup, Alan shared, "Lucy departed from Coronation Street around 2005, and we tied the knot in 2009. Our relationship ended after the birth of Sienna."

I'm really happy with my current situation. Even though I’m flying solo, I enjoy the time I spend with Sienna. I know that things will evolve eventually, but I’ve never tried using dating apps.

Lucy-Jo ended her marriage with Alan after almost nine years, and it came to light that she started dating Lewis Devine just two months afterward.

Alan experienced an amazing physical transformation in recent years as he adopted a healthier lifestyle during his divorce (left photo from 2019, right from 2007).

Alan shared that he started a healthier way of living, committing to a strict diet and intense exercise routines.

In 2019, the television actor shared with The Sun that he works out at the gym a minimum of three times a week, covering 2.5 kilometers on the treadmill, bike, rowing machine, and cross trainer.

He expressed to the magazine back then, "I've changed a bit myself, and others have noticed that."

I enjoy going to the gym. I start with a meal before my workout, then I exercise, and afterwards I either have a meal or take a swim and relax in the steam room.

He frequently posts pictures of his workouts on Instagram with his co-star Colson Smith, 26, who has achieved an impressive weight loss of 10 stone.
