I'm A Celebrity's Alan Halsall says he's 'more than content being single' as he opens up about his divorce from former Corrie co-star Lucy-Jo Hudson

I’m A Celebrity’s Alan Halsall opened up about his divorce from ex-wife Lucy-Jo Hudson during Tuesday night’s episode.

The actor divorced his former Coronation Street co-star Lucy-Jo, who played Katy Harris, in 2018.

Soap star Alan, who plays Tyronne Dobbs in the ITV show, shares daughter Sienna-Rae, 11, with his ex-wife.

Speaking to Dean McCullough about his split, Alan 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 split from Alan after nearly nine years of marriage; it was revealed that she’d embarked on a relationship with Lewis Devine just two months later.

However, she didn’t go public with her romance until October of that year, taking to Instagram to share a gushing post dedicated to her boyfriend, with whom she shared the stage in Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs pantomime in 2017.

In 2020 Alan seemingly lashed out at his ex-wife’s boyfriend after he referred to the former couple’s daughter Sienna-Rae as his own.

The actor appeared to make a remark in response to Lewis’ gushing post following the birth of his and Lucy-Jo’s son Carter.

Amid his excitement at becoming a new dad, Lewis heaped praise on Lucy-Jo and Alan’s daughter Sienna, with part of his statement reading: ‘Our Sienna is delighted and is already making the best big sister, just like I knew she would!’

In a now-deleted Instagram post viewed by The Sun, Alan didn’t appear to take too kindly to Lewis’ use of the word ‘our’ and seemed to hit back at his ex’s new partner.

He wrote: ‘You’re welcome to keep the lying cheating one & call her your own! But not my daughter.’

Alan underwent an incredible body transformation in recent years after embarking on a healthier lifestyle amid his divorce.

Alan revealed that he embarked on a healthier lifestyle with strict diet and gruelling workouts.

In 2019 the soap star told The Sun that he goes to the gym at least three times a week, and undertakes 2.5k on the treadmill, bike, rowing machine and cross trainer.

He told the publication at the time: ‘I’ve transformed a little bit myself and people have seen that’.

‘I like to come [to the gym). I have a pre-workout meal, I work out, then I have a post-workout meal or a swim and a steam’.

He often shares snaps of his gym sessions to Instagram alongside co-star Colson Smith, 26, who has himself lost a staggering 10st.
